Be cautious with clocking the tcase too high, as it can cause interference with the front driveshaft and the transmission oil pan. Also, if lifting the scout, it has 0 degrees of caster built into the front axle knuckles. Can be remedied with a "cut and turn" if needed to make the handling better. If wanting to convert to front disk brakes, it can be done with the knuckles out using 70's Ford F150 Dana 44 knuckles out parts to keep 5 on 5-1/2 wheel pattern, or also using some Jeep CJ stuff.
Thanks for the info. I think we have the T-case clocked low enough now. As it sits the shifters are close to vertical. When I originally mounted it, the were canted towards the driver. There definitely isn’t much room on the transmission. The knuckles are already cut. Waiting to get them on the springs before I set the caster. Luckily ours came from the factory with disc brakes up front. Are there any inexpensive or recommended upgrades for the front brakes?
