ive been researching a lift for my 98 zj and have tenativley settled on the rough country 4 inch w/upgrades. it comes with new control arms and such, but im worried that it does not contain a transfer case drop kit. for only 4 inches should i worry about it? where can i find a good transfer case drop kit to buy alone?

x2 no need for a TC drop kit. Welcome to thee forum.

A little clarification here...there is about a .0001% chance that you'll need it. Very few people have needed to lower the TC with any lift.

you should need a super big one, like a foot or so.

thanks all.
ill look into that foot or so drop kit.
itll go well with the .50 cal turret im installing for hunting unicorns and jackalopes.

I guess I feel special then. My front DS blew apart about 2 months after my lift with my 249

It blew apart because it WS a CV front driveshaft, not the 249.

Never use .50 cal for jackalope, you want to use a crossbow with pure silver tipped adamantium arrows, phoenix feather fletchings if possible.

Or, you could use a fat bobs three inch budget boost with f150 springs, a manual tranny and dual exhaust. I had a one half inch case drop that came standard with the RE 4.5 kit in 1999 when I bought it. The t case with drop with skid was still higher than my KOR sliderz.
