Yet Another UCF Transfer Case Skid Thread

[Rut Row]

If you have a tcase drop you already needed most of these parts anyways

needed does not equal PO installed! However, the TJ has been performing fine so the bare minimum done has been working.

Looks like my minimum shopping list is:

• angle track bar bracket
• rear upper adjustable control arms
• Rear Tom Woods drive shaft

If $$$ holds out, I'll get a front drive shaft too.

The PO did install adjustable JKS front and rear track bars as well as adjustable front lower control arms.

I have that UCF skid on my X. It raises drive line about 2.5 inches. In addition to the DC shaft you will need a rear angled track bar bracket and at least rear upper adjustable arms. Exhaust mods will also be necessary.

Don't forget a way to make the tcase zbar level or a cable shifter.

Another issue is when you rotate the pinion up to run the DC drive shaft your shocks may contact the lower spring perch. I first tried the brackets to relocate the shocks. That caused the shocks to be the wrong length. I ended up notching the perches.

thanks! I hadn't considered that. I'll add this to my to-do list.

Watch the brake line when you do this!!!

I have a pair of "starter" upper rear single adjustable Rough Country control arms.

Got them on sale and they worked until I bought Savvy.

They're yours if you want to pay shipping.

Many of the "tummy tucks" I've performed have ended up with modifying the transmission mounting plate and/or the mount on the skid. I find it easier to build a transmission crossmember.

I'm finally done. I was concerned that the Tom Woods front drive shaft may require the pinion angle to be changed. It was 4 degrees low after the MML. I did not change the angle . I drove it up to 60 MPH and had no vibration.
