I was thinking that aswell. But also , eliminating the front rake would seem to increase the ds angle.

Don't know how many of you have noticed that our tcase sits at about a 5 degree angle up towards the front. It doesn't sit level. Seems to me this may help contribute to the poor angle we have to run in front for castor, maybe even poor lube of the front bearing. On the auto tranny anyway.

What's higher end than the ATF-4 synthetic? Brand?? Side note: pulled my frt ds today, I'm getting kind of a whine with it now. Although slight , it's there. Don't wanna blow the t-case before Moab EJS. I actually need to get a DS with a new yolk for the t-case, I currently have a JEreel oem replacement. In fact Jim Reel said I should really change it and get the yolk closer to the t-case rather than have the flange.

I bought a new case and had the dealer in Utah and had them install the old internal parts to the new case.
Then drove home.

I originally had the OEM JE Reels. After talking with "Jim", I sent tem back and had them rebuilt as the heavy duty version with the replacement yokes. I was able to work with the castor angles a bit more.
After reading this thread, I am beginning to wish I hadn't opend this can of worms for myself! I really do like this Jeep though!

it seems to me that the driveshafts are deffinitely part of the problem. Unless you get those things in a perfect position they vibrate and kaboom. Why does someone not make a driveshaft with the same joints as the stocker, with true CV on one end and u joint on the other that can be rebuildable and maintained easily.

I forgot that AEV is coming out with one. Yup that is exactly what I was looking for. I bet this is going to solve a lot of problems with vibration, and transfer case explosions. It will have the clearance also due to the smaller diameter.
