You talkin about lifting your tcase higher? What do you mean by "Lift" kit. Zuks already got a bad enough driveline angle so I donno how lifting it any higher would help anything, just make it worse. I donno tho -David-

I raised my t-case with 100" WB... all in the name of a flat belly.... because I wanted to keep a really low CG.

Used HDPE as the belly pan mat. with channel as cross bracing and its interlocked crossways into the frame mounts already there..... ends are then 45deg cut for less hang-ups....

It looks pimp, and works that....... I wouldn't have it any other way....

Jacking up the case will affect the jack shaft angle pretty significantly. That might be a vibration problem at higher rpm's depending on how much you go up.

I like the Forest Bucket I have. Although it hangs down about an inch, it only does so at the case itself. For the rest of the belly, it has more clearance than a flat belly pan.

I agree, get a good t-case bucket and be done with it.

I used to have a full skid plate, I got High centered one too many times and offed the rotton thing.
