Default 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?

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to do that for a while due certain circumstances.

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?

It may be 1" but I'm not for sure, I'm horrible when it comes to guestimating lengths..
Thanks for the idea, I may definitely try that.

Same thing i was thinking. Who even makes a 2" tcase drop? And how expensive is one strong enough to get high-centered on all the time?
