Are you running to severe of drive-line angles currently?  How much lift do you have?

why would you lower your t-case ?
wouldn't that just increase your angles between the tansmission and the t-case ?

**** EDIT **** that makes more sense.... taking it out to swap gears. I thought you were talking about lowering it.

Here's a set of instructions from our Gear Guide section... It's for a different brand of gears but the installation is similar.

Good luck!

When you put it back in place make sure you use locktight on the bolts holding the t-case to the mounting brackets.  If you don't they have a nasty habbit of working loose.  Loose bolts means your t-case can twist in unexpected ways and you will break your case in twain.
