Transfercase Stand/Jack.....

I didn't have one so I made one. I will "refine" this as I go along.....
Worked great!, now I have to find someplace to store this one while I take the bad T-case out of the truck.

Seen one (5) for auction but dont know what the lift height would be.
Definately need one, maybe two!!!!!
Nice job!!!!!!!!!

RE: Transfercase Stand.....

Swapped out the transfer case this weekend on truck I'm selling. The rig worked really well, I used a shop crane to lift the bad case off the jack and then set it on the floor of the shop, and placed the donor t-case on the jack. The whole swap took about 5-6 hours. I thought the transfer case swap was going to be a PITA, but with this setup it was really very easy.... Taking the spare tire off the truck I was able to lower the case out of the truck and pull it out on the drivers side.

So that lifts high enough to reach the mounts?

Yessir, I've got some more pics of it under the truck, both lowered and all the way up in place. Works sweet!

Well alrighty then--post up the source and model number of the jack for us. Curious minds and such, ya know.

I'd like to try using a jack like that as a comparison. I've always used the engine crane through the pass door and a bottle jack to make minor angle adjustments.

I didn't have to take the tunnel or anything out of the cab, all was done from underneath.

The adjusments on the jack made lining up the holes very easy. The only thing I had fab up were the pieces of angle iron used to brace the case upright.

FMJ, I did kind of the same thing. Used a regular floor jack, lifted of the bowl or support plate and fabricated a cradle of 1 inch plywood (scribed to the t-case), then bolted that to the floor jack. Worked great although weight was a little off center, so will adjust that when I go to reinstall. Your jack looks better, more stable.
