t-case question

[roktoy84]

 was just wondering if the t-case can be "clocked" up and out of the way for a little more ground clearence.

[yotaboy79]

its possible but i wouldent suggest it, its already a tight fit under ther, u would be better of with a lift or larger tires

[brainlessfool]

don't THINK so. anyway if it could be done, problay not a good idea. mite mess with the oil flow to the gears and bearings

[yotaboy79]

the only way i would ever evin think about it would be to make a custom crossmember and motor mounts, that would move the whole asembaly up, but as a sead befor, dont wast ur time with that, lift it more or get bigger tires

[roktoy84]

Got the lift, and plan on buying some 35's. but i was just wondering bout it. wanna keep mine as low as possible. But still have good ground clearence.

If you clock this thing how far can u go before it cause problems with drive shaft angles?

[yotaboy79]

good question

[roktoy84]

figure I'll just slap on a 2 in. body lift. And lift the drive train to match. I figure that might be the better approach. Like the idea of everything being out of the way. Especially the exhaust.

Yes, it can be clocked and there are a few kits available. Drive lines will need to be modified as it adds like 3" or 4" inches to the total drivetrain.

I know OTT once made this but I can't seem to find it on there site.

Concerns are that the oil galleys that catch tossed oil is what 'pumps' the oil back into the rear housing under accelleration (via inersia) but with it clocked and oil runs out of the galleys and I think cooling becomes a concern.
