Today was good.
i swapped out the radiator in my jeep and changed the fuel filter since they both looked like they've never been been changed...
but i have a question.
my jeep has a 5 inch RC lift on it. i was wondering what size TC dop kit would be good for that size lift.
thanks for any help.

Never do more than a 1" TC drop. Becuase when they drop the cross member 1" they are also putting the entire drivetrain at an angle. Hince you don't want to much of an angle on your drivetrain. Also as it tilts the rear yoke on the TC down to give you a better drive shaft angle, it also brings the front flange up. If it brings the front up to much it will cuase it to bind. If you can't get rid of your drive shaft vibs with out a cheap 1" drop, maybe some angled shims, or even as I did and having a shop cut you a drive shaft for the proper length. Then you simply either need to lower it or go SYE.

The hardest part for me was getting the two pins at the bottom of the radiator to line up with the holes. But it wasn't even that hard to do.
