t-case drop
What do I need to drop my t-case? I realize I need some longer bolts but what do I use to space it? and do I need a special grade bolt, or will some bolts from home depot work? 1" is the most I should drop it right? Thanks

Oh and the tranny mount is good, the tranny is slipping though. Time for a 700r I guess.

I can tell ya I dropped the one on my '86 blazer.. used pipe fittings for spacers 1".. never needed to grind the cv on the front driveline..
I will however hint around to sandwiching the frame where the bolts go through. I started to crack my frame from flexing and torque.. so I took steel plates 1/4 or so and sandwiched the frame ..then just tackweled them in place.. never had a problem since..
