Tummy tuck

The only way to do it is by going to a 2 speed Atlas and clocking it up. Stock t case hangs way low. Then you need to modify the trans crossmember and mount.
As Maertz pointed out, you have other factors at play which question the value in the effort. No sense in doing it if you aren't going to tuck all the frame and axle brackets up. The next problem you have is that you'll have a really hard time getting decent separation (assumes you go to some sort of triangulated setup).
I'm still debating if I will do it on my build. Adds a ton of extra work.

On mine i was able to tuck the stock tcase high enough to put a flat bar across but youd have to get creative in the bracing on your skid.. As mine is now my crossmember is a 4x2 rectangle tube bolted to the bottom of the frame....
Look up iwaxmyjimmy he has done this i believe? I don't know if he's on this forum or not..
As said above definitely some things to consider...

And an Atlas. I called and asked how they clear the t case. Correct that you have to buy their $12k system. They don't even make it for a 2 door and I asked if they would sell the trans crossmember, they said no. Haha
