TC Drop: Should I do it?

[71jimmy]

I'm in the process of putting a six inch lift on my '71 Jimmy. Springs in front (tuff country) and in the rear I'm thinking shackle flip with 2 or 3 inch blocks (depending which levels it out) and having my stock rear springs re-arc'd. I'll be running 35x12.50x15 Mud Terrains on 10x15 rims. It will never see hard core rock crawling!

I'm contemplating dropping the Transfer Case an inch. The advantage I see is it would reduce the drive line angle a bit. Can someone give me the pros and cons in doing this? Is it worth it? What kind of things do I need to consider before I do it? Is it necessary with a six inch lift?

Also, as mentioned, I'm looking at the ORD shackle flip. Anybody know if they take into account the natural tendency for the axels to shift when lifts are installed? Are they made so that the axels remain centered in the wheel well?

As always, thanks for the help!

And I know
As soon as I get the rear lifted I'll post some!
