Why do I need a transfer case linkage drop bracket after installing a lift kit?

When you lift your Jeep, the suspension geometry changes, which can misalign your transfer case. This bracket helps to drop the transfer case back into a proper alignment with the driveline, ensuring smooth operation and correct shifting.

Is this bracket difficult to install?

No, this is a direct bolt-on application. It is designed to install without requiring any drilling, making it a straightforward process for most DIYers.

What is the warranty on this transfer case linkage drop bracket?

This transfer case linkage drop bracket is covered by a limited 5-year warranty from Rugged Ridge, offering peace of mind for your purchase.

Product Details

Rugged Ridge is known for making well-built accessories for Jeeps. If you've installed a lift kit on your 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler (YJ, TJ, XJ, or ZJ), you'll likely need to reposition your transfer case. This steel linkage drop bracket from Rugged Ridge is designed to do just that, supporting the necessary drop to keep your transfer case aligned with the new driveline angles and suspension geometry.

This bracket is a direct bolt-on application, meaning no drilling is required, which makes installation straightforward. By properly aligning your transfer case, you'll ensure that you can still shift gears correctly, even after raising your Jeep. It's a simple but important part for maintaining proper function after a suspension lift.
