Title: "Outside-the-Box"
Post by: MOABICON on December 12, 2011, 08:12:31 PM

Thinking~"Outside-the-Box"
2003 TJ Manual trany. Has
anyone ever done a 2" engine
lift? Then I could make a flush
t-case skid plate with the bottom
of the frame? How will this effect
rear driveshaft pinion angle?

anything can be done

ull probably can fit it with a 1.5 body lift and then use a hammer to make some space for the T case   the tranny will fit up no problem its the T case that needs the room

ull want a motor mount lift as well to give you space for the fan and fan shroud . then ull need to build a cross member to hold your T case and tranny nice and high and then you can install the flat plate

im doing this to mine this weekend  so ill post pictures

1.25 body lift and some massaging of the tunnel tranny will fit some of the premaid tummy tucks that are flat to the rails. Or can run the lopro tranny mount and skip some massaging. Its not really outside the box. Its cheap and easy to make a flat skid. Your pinion angle will increase, no two ways about it. I wouldnt go 2" on the MML, stick with the standard and get a new shaft.
