what is the max amount of drop, you would put on the t-case?

and if i do drop it like 2 inches-will i need to extend my linkage? or just re adjust it?
i dont know how much lift i have(mixed and mached lift) but im running 38's and with full flex i dont rub anywhere(did alot of trimming

i wouldnt do anything over an inch because you will be losing ground clearance and thats the whole reason you lift the vehichle in the first place is to gain ground clearance i would save up and get either a SYE or a hack and tap with factory front shaft

hmm what Transfercase? i would do an RE HnT and front Driveline.

and the maximum TC drop is 1" i have an IRO tc drop.

what lift height are you at? and if your running 38"s i hope you atleast did alloy 760x shafts up front, and a 29sp 8.25 with alloy shafts aswell. even with those items. your one trigger happy mistake away from a tow home.
