So I went and measured a stock TB tonight.

I measured 13 1/2 to the center of the wheel, and 8" to the lowest point of the oil pan drain plug.

Mine measured 23 1/2 to the oil pan plug, and 18" to the axle centerline.


In other words, I have 11 inches of lift over stock, plus a 1" body lift.

And how it sits currently:

I sold the 42s, and am running my 37s on 17" H2 wheels.

[chevycrew]

Quad headlights, and driving lights on with high beams installed today. (while mantaining normal driving light switch operation.)

Writeup in my old thread in the offroad section.

[chevycrew]

Put the 40s on for wheeling tomorrow!

[chevycrew]

Not much new, rebuild the t-cases after about 300 miles of use. (rear case was from my toyota, I had never opened it back up after a picnic table build in moab)

Added quad tail lights today, looks much better with both bulbs lit.

With running the dual cases, there was more weight than I wanted hanging out in space. I think it's bad enough that from the factory the case hangs unsupported off the adapter. With the 2nd case, mine is back an additional 7.5". So I cut out some plate to bolt to the rear t-case, using 4 of the case half bolts. A front plate was fabbed to use 3 of the doubler housing bolts, and a mount built in between. I didnt want to worry about uneven stress with 2 t-case mounts now, so a factory rubber mount was used in the rear location as well.

Since i tweaked my back and cant do much, ill try to go through and update the build thread. For the time being there are better updates in the general offroad thread about the truck.
