Default .5" Transfer Case Drop?

Does anybody know of any company that makes a .5" Transfer Case drop? I have been diagnosing some slight vibes recently (pulled my front DS and it rode smoother so I will replace those u-joints), and I was wondering if there was a less than 1" t-case drop out there. I also plan on replacing the u-joint in my rear DS before installing a drop. Would new motors mounts (Brown Dog) be good to do at the same time as the drop?

Just get 2 half inch thick plates made up at your local metal shop and drill holes for the bolts. Get longer bolts and instal! Cost me somewhere between 5-10 bucks

Replace your u-joints first and that might even fix your problem. Also check for slop in the slip yolk of your front driveshaft.
