Can anyone tell me what is the point of a transfer case drop bracket ?

I got one with my 2" FTS suspension lift kit but never installed the bracket when we put the suspension in. Seems to run fine so far 8 months later..

It got me thinking tho whats the use for it ? An will i be slowly wreaking any drive train with out it in.

Cheers

never heard of a transfer case drop,

are you sure you dont mean diff drop bracket?

Lifted jeeps use them to line up the driveline better and stop wobbles

Pics would halp heaps

It defiantly not the a-ram ball joint spacer for the rear diff, i do have this spacer on my truck tho.

I will pull a pic from the net an post it.

From memory the transfer case drop bracket lowers the T/C 1". I suspect this is to re-inline the drive shaft angle to the diff and eliminate the funny slant or angle the axle case on by pushing the diff back a tad ? Of course don't quote me on this as its the only logical explanation i can think up at this stage...

it's a low profile/dropped transfer case cross member, i ran one in my 2.0 SWB vitara for a few years with no drama's after destroying the standard one on a nasty rock garden... still need to transfer it over to the LWB.
