Which MML to choose

G-MANtj · 09-11-2009, 06:25 PM

I have the RC 3.25" lift on 33's and the T-case drop. I hate the T-case drop and was looking at a MML. Is the MML from RC big enough? I believe it is 1" but here's the link... Jeep Accessories - Motor Mount Lift or should i go with a different one?

I did the RC BMML. All good in the hood.

I think going above 1" on MML is not recommended.

so if i get the 1" i might still have to have a little T-case drop? cuz the drop was like 2"

3.25" lift and you had to drop the TC 2"? Not much net clearance gain. That's unfortunate. You have to do what works for your set up though. Others on here more knowledgeable than me, but I think other options are SYE and CV driveshaft.

Just follow the directions. PLUS, make sure to loosen the transmission mounts in the skid. Make sure to take the bracket off the block on the driver's side and switch the orientation of the thru-bolt. Go to the Rokmen website and there's a Youtube video on this.

All that being said. You will become frustrated. It is incredibly hard to get into some of the spaces unless you have the arms of a 12 year-old girl. You'll have to work with different combinations of socket extensions, etc., but you'll get through it. Once you're done though, you'll be glad you did it.

Edit: Oh, I definitely would do the body lift at the same time. Body lift, then MML.

I have a 1" daystar BL and 1" Browndog MML installed on my YJ

I did both when I did my custom Belly up/sye I gained 3.5 inches of clearnace including 1" t case drop that I had installed but my T case is tucked up close to the body I have 1/2 clearance in some areas.

I know this has been asked before, but do you install the BL first, then the MML or is it the other way around. I'm planning on a SYE in the future, but thinking about getting the BL/MML and new wheels/tires instead.

I did the BL first and am glad I did. You'll have a smidgen more room to work your hands and arms into spaces. Plus, it just seems more intuitive to me to lift the body to make room for the tranny & t-case. You can do an MML without a BL, but it's a very, very tight fit.

do them at the same time but do the bl first and leave your radiator shroud loose then do ml that way you do not have to modify the shroud or raise the radiator. i did both last weekend using the rc bl 1 1/4" and the 1" ml it took about three hours total but i have a 06 rubi that i just bought and it had never been offroad and the hardware came loose very easily. like it was said have plent of extentions and use a 1/2 drive and it is not that bad good luck.
