I wanna add more to my lift!
So i've got a 3 inch Rough Country and i wanna put 2 more. I'm most likely gonna go with shackles and spacers, but my question is... How much would i need to drop my tcase? Its currently at stock right now, so how much per each inch should i lower it? And also im pretty sure i read it somewhere on here but i can't seem to find it, instead of getting new shocks, where can i find the spacers that bolt up in the original shock mounts that give it an extra couple inches without buying longer shocks?

usually the standard t-case drop is about 1". and you could probably make your own shock spacers fairly easy using some scrap steel.
if your going up to 5" you will more than likely need to address some front end issues: track bar, control arms, steering, to name a few

/\/\/\ Agreed. You will have other issues that follow, along with needing longer brake lines, slip yoke eliminators and such. I am at 4.5" on mine, and my TC is only down by 1"... so that would probably work.... Just expect a few steering issues and brake issues to follow with this height.

all the same crap mentioned before......when you get to 4.5'' lift, it starts to get expensive......to some.
also do not drop your t-case more than one inch. although you are helping your rear driveline angles by doing this, you are screwing up the front drive line angles in the front. ( point the back down and the front is gonna point up)
