before everyone tells me it is not needed let me fill you in.
1-My tranny mount is about 2" higher than stock
which in turn has my driveshaft output higher than stock pointing slightly up. a lower driveline angle will benefit me as little as it will help.
2-My jeep is low, I have large tires, I like to go fast. I am properly bumpstopped but my truss (sits about 2.5" above the axle tube under the oil pan) has contacted the oil pan, and with enough force to dent the bearing cradle inside making contact with my crankshaft (not a fun noise) everything else clears just fine and the truss is staying.
3- I need motor mounts and a tranny mount anyway
any complications I would see? I no longer have a fan shrould and it cools just fine on the hottest days on the trail anyway.
I can make the exhaust work
I have heard the valvecover would hit the hood, and it will be close, but if there is an issue i noticed a structural part of the hood is right at the tallest part of the valvecover and could be trimmed if needed.
thoughts?
