Re: Help with XJ T-case lowering kit...
The whole idea of using a CV joint is so you don't have to lower the
t-case. It is an either/or type of thing.
I mean why go spend big bucks on a rear CV joint when a buck in washers
will get rid of the vibrations?
The only reason folks do this is to keep the clearance up.

Re: Help with XJ T-case lowering kit...
the drive shaft actually became too short, hence the CV.
I get some vibration off the front, and since I have some pretty intense
transfer case ski plates, I can lower the t case 3/4 inch and not worry
because the skid plates are still there.
so nobody knows how to get the bolts out of the frame since they are holding
the transfer case from the top down and I can't reach up top (into the
frame) to pull the bolts out/ install the new ones..

Re: Help with XJ T-case lowering kit...
Actually yes, I just read about a gent that did the same on another
board.
Those are studs that unscrew so start soaking them in penetrating oil.
The guy had a stud remover tool. Sort of an off set disk with a jaw. A
plumbers pipe wrench comes to my mind. Others posted about using heat
to loosen them too.

The guy had a stud remover tool. Sort of an off set disk with a jaw. A
plumbers pipe wrench comes to my mind. Others posted about using heat
to loosen them too.
