Re: Lift & Driveline problems
I disagree with this. Yes, if the t-case was kept at the stock height,
the motor mount lift would help in the driveline angles of the rear
driveshaft. However, he plans to put a new skid plate on to raise the
transfer case up. This will effectively negate the potential help that
raising the engine would have done. Sound right?

Re: Lift & Driveline problems
Yeah you're right Bob, I did miss that he was also installing a high
clearance skidplate. Though it still may work since he's only installing a
2" suspension lift and the 1.5" engine lift is usually more than enough for
a 3" suspension lift... so it's possible that he may still get away with it.

Re: Lift & Driveline problems
Hi Matt,
Of course, our Fords have them, as well as all GM utilities and
older Civilian Jeeps. And all of them have the slip joint on the
driveshaft, slip joints on output shafts are use on passenger cars only.
