TRANSFER CASE LOWERING INSTRUCTIONS
For ― & ūT 1980 and later model years on 4 and 6 lifts, the transfer case is lowered by using stock
mounting hardware on the transfer case cross-member.
1. Place floor jack under transfer case cross-member, raise jack until it applies pressure to the cross-member.
Remove stock mounting hardware.
2. Lower floor jack until there is enough space between the cross-member and the frame to install stock spacer
and mounting hardware per the picture. Tighten all hardware.
FRONT CONSTANT VELOCITY U-JOINT STOPS MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The stops on the front cv u-joint and the stops on the front drive shaft must be modified to obtain maximum
suspension travel on all 4 and 6 lift systems (see diagram below). These stops are designed to prevent the
drive shaft from contacting the road surface in the event of a u-joint failure at the front-end housing.
1. Remove the front drive shaft assembly from the vehicle.
Use a grinder or other suitable tool and remove the
amount of material needed to gain ample u-joint clearance
at the drive shaft stop. (Remove as little material as
possible). About 1/8 of material.
2. With the grinding completed, reinstall the drive shaft and
check the stop clearance by turning the drive shaft
