[QUOTE="HRDROKN, post: 439807, member: 21248"] In between getting these axles in and sorted, I decided this was the time to swap in a 2012 Rubicon case... which has brought me a couple of issues. First, I didn't find anyone documenting this swap with a T18 or NP435 trans and discovered that you can't clock the TC flat.... front drive shaft hits the clutch fork. So i clocked it down once and still needs another 1/2" of clearance, so now I need to limit my bump or clock the damn thing again, which is clearly getting away from how the TC was designed to run. If I clock it again my solution will be to overfill the oil level. A lot of crap for 130:1 low range. Clocked flat she sits in there real nice with 1.5" body lift and a 2" skid plate.... [ATTACH type="full"]121983[/ATTACH] Clocked down one set of holes, not bad as she is just flush with the skid plate now, but the front drive shaft still hits the clutch fork.... :( [ATTACH type="full"]121984[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]121985[/ATTACH] :unsure: [/QUOTE]
