Remove the transfer case drop and put it back to where it was.
I can't say for the stock shifter, but with my B&M shifter and the 1.25" body lift, I don't have any clearance issues.
What did you do to your TJ today?

I had the same prob after installing my (modified) tuffy console. Just heated up the stick with a propane torch and bent it back a little bit. Prob solved.
Got this delivered last night!! Ready to get it painted, mounted, and winch in place!!
Remove the skid drop on the lj. On my tj with a 1.25" body lift I had interference with 2nd gear.but that was partly because the body was shifted over to the passenger side.
If you did have vibes after removing the drop, I'd install a MML. I have a 3" lift on my Rubicon with no tcase drop or MML and zero vibes. I have a much shorter rear driveshaft too.
If I’m planning on a 1.25” body lift should the MML also be 1.25”? Thinking of a tummy tuck long term
A 1" MML will work with a 1.25" body lift. That is what I'm running without any modifications.
I wouldn't install a body lift without a MML to go along with it. I also recommend getting a MML that is the entire motor mount and not just a slide in spacer.
What if you don't have a SY to E?
The tcase drop is still the wrong answer
Yep. Telltale sign someone cuts corners IMO. I wouldn't buy a jeep with one.
You may want to consider a 1/8" drop - helps prevent rust.
Not me having bought my 2.4L that had a rebuilt engine that I rebuilt a year and a half later, the skid was dropped
I will say the one advantage of it being dropped was rust prevention. I’ll probably do this.

To be honest I don't ever buy any modified vehicle really. POs are idiots even when they aren't customizing stuff
I have been down from a small MS episode, doing physically better but no motivation. Took Jeep out on some errands today. I got my first duck for my new old jeep. This little guy will inspire me to keep wrenching on, and hopefully have some real fun with the jeep this summer.
Picked up a new JKS trackbar for 50 bucks on fbm
The guy tried drilling out the bushing but that didn't work out for him and he got another bar,
I already pressed out the "old" bushing and most likely a moog K3147 or a Oreily's brand "precision" one will take place since that one doesn't use a split sleeve like the moog does!
EDIT
New bushing is pressed in,much better not bad at all 75 bucks all in about 3 minutes of my time pressing the old/new,out/in bushings out and bam....New trackbar
The Bushing is from oreilys.Its the "Precision" branded one,The moog is a split sleeve where as this one is a solid sleeve!!

Some are less disgusting than others. On my first TJ (18 Jeeps ago) I had a 3/8" drop with some washers. It was barely noticeable IMO.
I thought that was larger tires without regearing.
