How do people do a body tuck on jeeps is there a kit or do i have to fab somthing my self. and how would that affect the drive shaft angle with a 4 inch lift. with a slip yoke installed?
there is a kit but it is no where near bolt on. go to quadratec and check out the AEV Brute kit. you actually strech the frame two feet so you will have no more problems with angles.
body tuck?
are you talking about a belly up? like a flat transfercase skid?
if that is the case, there are several companies that make flat tcase skids. 33 engineering, teraflex, nth* (when they were in business), claytonoffroad, skyjacker, etc.
basically require rear adjustable control arms, a sye/cv driveshaft combo, and usually a 1" BL.
sorry i didn't know the proper name. do they have a belly up kit for the gas tank. i tried searching for one but coulden't find one. unless im not looking right or something
HHmmm i've not seen one for the gas tank yet. The only belly up kit i've seen is for the tcase and the tranny skid. For the gas tank i usually see people using another cell or whatever you call it.
a friend has a 3" BL and a flat metal plate as the TC plate.
when he makes his next TC service he will take a look if my 2" BL would be enough for that flat tranny plate.
you´ll need a modified exhaust when you install a belly-up plate.
and if you already have some lift you also need a SYE and CV driveshaft in the rear.
It all depends on how much money you want to spend on the tank. Gen Right makes some great tanks that can give you more clearance or allow you the room to move your axle back 5", however they are about $800. Nothing is going to flatten that area out back there unless you cut the floor and move it up or compeltely move it into the bed.
Would i have to change the gas tank mounts and would it affect the exaust pipe
