Old Man Emu 2-inch Lift Kit Installation


Transfer case Lowering Kit Installation

This installation is being preformed in garage to show the easiest way to install a transfer case lowering kit on an '86 to '95 Jeep Wrangler.

Tools Needed:

  3/4-inch socket

  2-foot breaker bar

  Torque wrench with a 40 to 120 Ft-lbs. capability.

  Floor jack

 Safety Note: Always block the opposite ends tires, apply the parking brake, transmission into 1st gear, when working on suspension components, or under vehicle.
  1. With the Jeep on all four wheels, place a floor jack and a six-inch length of 2X4 in the middle on the transfer case skid plate, and make solid contact with the jack.
  2. Remove the six bolts that connect the skid plate to the frame with a 3/4-inch socket.
  3. Loosen the three small Transmission mount nuts, two full turns or until the skid plate can be moved forward and back.

  4. Lower the floor jack VERY SLOWLY, until there is a 1 1/2-inch gap between the skid plate and frame.
  5. Install three spacers per side. Recessed side up. Raise the floor jack to make solid contact.
  6. Install the supplied bolts and beveled washers, tapered end up, and tighten three or four turns. It is easiest to do the four corners first, then do the middle two. After all the bolts are started torque them to 90 Ft-lbs.
  7. Remove the floor jack.
  8. Tighten transmission-mounting nuts loosened in step 3.
There you have it! The drop is complete.
