superlift sells one, but i think its like 60 or 70 bucks. I have access to a machine shop so i just turned one real quick out of 7075 aluminum and made sure it had the nice concentric rings on it for the t case output and driveshaft flange. Then popped 4 holes in it. 2 hours of work and 3$ in hardware is a lot better than spending 70 bucks lol

Since you have a 4 inch lift and the sm465/205 i have to ask for a picture of your front CV joint at the transfer case, because i am driving myself crazy trying to find pictures because im almost positive i wont be able to get enough angle out of this stock joint. i'd really appreciate it.

i can send you a pdf of the print i made for myself when i was machining mine if you want to make one or have someone make it for you
