My Diff Drop Brackets!

These look great...

I know the cross member needs to be done also. It's next.

You can use OEM cross member if you cut section out....
.... and weld in reinforcement .

I'll crawl under mine and take pics if you want them.

I probably won't get a chance to install these until next week. I think the cross member will be a piece of cake compared to these. I see from reading older posts that some people have had issues with the dust boots on the front driveshaft after the diff drop. I don't think I've see anywhere that anyone has lower the transfer case mount an inch or so. Any reason why? That's a normal thing on Wranglers with lift kits. I would think that would help the driveshaft.

Never had a problem with mine ... Marlin is just 'special' I rekin.

Here's the back side of one of them. Will be painting them tonight so they look purty.

It looks like the axle flange will clear the welding beads. Just remember to have a grinder handy during install in case you need to make some tweeks.

Here's the notch I was talking about: http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...49/ppuser/2699

& several pix of the installed brackets on page 19 of my gallery.

Thanks for the heads up on the notch. I have a Trooper front diff sitting in the garage so I'll trial fit it to that before I do the brackets.
