More Transfer case ground clearance

[unccpathfinder]

Alright...long story short I got my buddy into wheeling pretty hard...he's got a rubicon and today got his "motor lift" and body lift...so I got to thinking about it on a nissan...

 

I beat on my tcase pretty hard when on the trails and know i could go with a black panther skid but was thinking about a 1-1.5" lift on the motor and transmission...I haven't gone through a driveline calculator yet or measured my available slip and angles on the front shaft and rear shaft (more worried about the rear shaft)...the jeep one just lifts the motor and not the trans but I don't really want to change my power angle

 

the positive side is a lil more GC at the center of the vehicle (gets the tranny above the bottom of the framerail) but the negative is that it raises your CG..maybe not enough to notice...basically the plan would be to have a spacer block at the transmission isolator and then I'd have to figure out how to make a spacer block at the engine which won't be too difficult with a 3" BL there is plenty of room for exhaust and engine rock

 

If it requires new driveshafts that may be ok too since i'm starting to get together information to complete a SAS in the next year or so

I bet you could raise just the tranny about and inch on a stock wd21. Maybe the engine too. So with a BL you'd have even more room

I jacked my tranny up 2" on the stock 94 to change the pan...

i need to take some measurements to and do some driveline reviewing to see if it puts the driveshafts in a bad spot...if so I could get CV's made but like i said prob all in good time
