Tcase Drop problems/questions
The last owner who installed the T-case drop on my cherokee didn't install a bracket for the green bushing that holds the little rod in place on the shift lever for 4wd. So the Tcase has dropped about two inches, along with the bracket. Do they make special brackets that I could buy or am I going to have to rig something up?

When I dropped my TC I just fabbed a bracket out of 1/8" stock to drop the linkage the 1" that the TC dropped. Pretty easy to do if you just look at it for a minute. A couple holes to mount your new bracket to the origional bracket at the top and mimic the existing bracket holes the distance of your drop on the bottom of your fabbed bracket, smooth as butta! Been running it for a year or better and works like a champ. 
Are you sure yours is dropped 2", that seems excessive?

Thanks for the idea, I may definitely try that.

Could you snap a picture of that?
