you will need to raise your engine as well if you are raising your tranny or tcase. 4crawler sells some easy bolt in mounts.
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/MotorMount.shtml and also has a good FAQ for questions such as this.

If you were to raise your tcase and tranny without raising your engine to match there would be exaggerated angle on your output u-joint as well as potentially clearance issues with your fan and fan shroud in addition to increased stress on your motor mounts.

I have his mounts and plan on using them along with fabbing up a new crossmember/skid plate mount to raise my drive line 2" on my 83 mini. I do have a 2" body lift as well so there wont be the sheet metal clearance issues that you might have.
good luck.  :crossed:
