Default Crazy 11 inches stock driveshaft!
ok so have you ever heard of 11 inches of lift on a xj with stock driveshaft and no slip yoke? Bc my cousin is doing it, he can fab anything and he fabs everything. I dont know if anyone has heard of this but he came up with the idea of fabricating some engine and transmission mounts up that dropped the engine 1.25 inches and he might have a one inch t-case drop to. This thing will lift one tire 59 inches off the ground...crazy. Has anyone ever heard of lowering the engine and tranny?

we need to see this thing because frankly i dont know that that is possible without some sort of driveline mods. even if the engine/tranny is dropped 1.5 inches and the T-case dropped another inch thats still 8.5 inches of lift over stock. i don't know that even shimming the driveshaft would work that would be one hell of a pinion angle.

why would you want to lower them? defeating the purpose of putting a lift on by dropping components back down...jmo
