Jeep Wrangler YJ Transfer Case Drop Kits Installation Instructions
1. Using a floor jack under the transfer case skid plate, loosen the three adjustment mount bolts on the bottom of the skid plate.
2. Remove the 6 bolts (3 on each side) connecting the skid plate to the frame. Carefully lower floor jack so that assembly is approximately 1 inch below the frame.
Note: On some models, the engine torque causes the transmission to rock. This movement may cause the transfer case to interfere with the rear lip on the skid pan. To eliminate this problem, insert 1 or 2-1/2” washers per side between the transfer case spacers and the frame.
3. Insert 3 spacers per side, install new hardware and tighten to 75 ft/lbs. Remove the floor jack. Caution: On manual transmission models, it may be necessary to notch tunnel area behind the transmission shifter to accommodate reverse gears. Failure to allow the shifter more clearance could result in premature wear and/or failure.
4. Periodically inspect assembly for tightness.
