Advance Adapters or Skyjacker transfer case bracket?

sportcoupe · 02-11-2008, 11:45 PM

I am looking to move the transfer case shift bracket off the body and found two differant relocation brackets that do just that. The Advance Adapter ($33) and the Skyjacker ($80). Which is the better product, money isn't a concern but why waste $50 if I don't need to.

But they look (almost) completely differant?

I have the SkyJacker one....

So if they are "the same thing" why did you buy the skyjacker one?

Im using the AA bracket no complaint, way better than stock, nice and smooth shifting and no more binding.

I couldn't find the installation pdf on AA's website for their TC bracket. The picture they show is also a new design and I can't see how it works. I googled it and found install pictures of the OLD design but nothing on the new design. Anyone have a current pic of the new designed AA bracket installed?

The Skyjacker is advertised at Quadratec as "hard install" with "cutting and welding required". I don't believe that's true though.

The best one is from novak conversions. By far the best ouyt there. i have used the skyjacker and a buddy of mine had the AA. Both work just fine but this is what you should get. After i changed over, I could not believe how easy the tcase shifted.

It does require Cut and Weld. You have to lengthen the rod for the shifter. Its not hard...Pretty Easy if u can weld...

I have the AA bracket, didn't know there is a new version.

Put the AA on mine after the tummy tuck. Solved the problems and kept money in my pockets for the atlas conversion coming soo
