[TheCaptain]

Nice work!!

What did you use for the project?

[RUBI]

How much of a body lift are you running Steve ?? I did the same thing , 2" body lift and a 1-1/4" drop on the belly pan.....now I'm waiting for my short arms so I can correct the pinion angle........Mine is outta 1/4" Stainless Steel Plate !!!

I have a 2" body lift 1/4" plate

I have the advanced adapters Sye but it looks like I'm gonna have to change it to a super short sye to get the drive shaft angles under control 

Or maybe this is the excuse I need to do a rear stretch 

[RUBI]

Must be the difference in the T-Case then..... I could not raise mine any higher without having to pound out the floorpan, and also the extreme angle of the pinion. I used a Tom Woods drive shaft with the Rubicon adapter flange, and still need the adjustable arms to correct the pinion angle at the diff.

Darcy

I forgot to mention I raised the engine 2 " as well

I have adjustable arms so the pinions a non issue for me its the angle @ the cv thats extreme

[RUBI]

Did you go with 1" higher motor mounts to help eliminate some of the angle at the SYE ?

I rasied the motor mounts 2"

[Joel]

That looks good Steve,  amazing how much clearance you have.

[RUBI]

2"    You must of had to make some changes to the fan shroud then as well............I only went with 1" myself.

Metal

they are impressive builds ,  like getting an additional lift installed , I just learned plastic skids are out there in various new vehicles, I'd go tried/true metal too ...
