Default Re: Lift question

Are we talking about the RC 4.5" long arm or short arm kit? I been following the long arm threads and it's been reported that the 242 will work with the RC LA kit if you raise the drivetrain back to stock. The crossmember supplied with the LA kit drops the drivetrain a bit, about an inch, and the 242 will end up hitting the t-case skid so using 1" spacers under the tranny mount will raise the drivetrain back up and allow the 242 to fit.

not cuz of the 242, but cuz I want the driveline back up. It's binding my t-case lever a little and i feel some more idle vibes from the tilted drivetrain.

The person who did the spacer trick had the 242 and said it fit. I can't recall if it was on naxja or jeepforum.

Makes sense, it is what I would do. I might space my own up a little because the weight of the Atlas smashes the stock tranny mount kind of flat

Just looked at the link Mud. Nothing wrong with what he did, but I would do it differently and save some time and effort. Instead of spacing the bottom of the mount, I would have spaced the top. Two bolts instead of four and wouldn't have to remove the mount to do it.
