Default transfercase drop??

i talked to a person that just got out of school he has been at uti for 2 years doing all kinds of different courses and we went for a ride in my truck today and he said that i needed to drop my transfercase because my driveline angle is too much.. what should i do because i have noticed that i have slight vibrations but not to bad after lifted my truck so my main question is where could i find a kit or spacers to drop my t-case.

thanks,
cam

No you do not want to do that because then you will increase the angle of the front drive shaft and possibly end up with the fan hitting the shroud.

How much lift do you have? You can easily measure your dive-line angles

If you looking for a "direct" bolt-in kit specific for Dodge trucks they don't make them, you will need to make one up yourself.

You should measure our drive line angles and check you u-joints. You can shim the rear axle to adjust the pinion angle but you shouldn't need to with only 5".

Again, you can't do a transfer case drop as it will only make the angle on the front drive shaft even worse.
