Lowering my T-case
« on: January 09, 2008, 08:23:56 AM »
so my front driveshaft won't work due to the angle, my rear shaft vibrates violently since i can't match the angle on both sides. my next step is to find a way to lower my transfer case on my 88 samurai. does anyone know of any kits or fixes that i could use to do this?

how much lower does it need to go?
would a custom mount/brace do it?

could could always also run a carden.

I cut the mounts off the frame and lowered my t case 3 inches.  you have to add some square tubing to the frame to fill in the gap that you create.  ill try to put pic on tomm.

used the stock intermediat shaft but it is maxed out.  really not for everyday use.  only suggest it for an off road truck/sammy.  let me go take pics

so im running toyota axles with 3" lifted springs. it's about an 8 1/2" lift. i can't run a cardon shaft cause the diff is centered.

so it seems that im going to need to cut and lower the mounts?
 and the driveshaft from the transmission to the t-case will be able to handle the new angles?

if the pics are too big copy and paste them into the "paint" program under accessories.  Up at the top there's a tab...i think its file or something but then there will be a "resize" option.  After you make it smaller then save it and upload it.
