Custom TC Drop?
Has anyone done a custom TC drop? If so, for a 1" drop, what size bolts should I buy and what should I use for spacers. I tried searching the forum, but didn't have much luck. I am pretty new at this so bare with me.

here is what i copped mine from the bolts are 10mm about 2" long |
10mm 1.25 thread pitch IIRC.
Just get some washers, its good enough IMO. Or a peice of aluminum flat 1" thick. |

Thats exactly what i did, i used 1.5" square tubing for a 4.5" lift and 2" square tubing on our 5.5" lifted xj.
got rid of any vibrations and pushed the slip yoke right back in. That puts a lot of strain on your TC where it meets the transmission and the tranny bushings that are on the crossmember. Tried to do more than 1" on mine and it binded like crazy. |

Id advise against this for anything but a quick fix thats only temporary.

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'm putting a 3" rusty's lift on and 31's in a couple weeks and can't wait. Figured the tc drop wouldn't hurt.
