Yes, you could tilt the engine and drop the transfer, but it would like you had a load of sh*t in your pants. God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

HOW MUCH LIFT FOR ME?

How much traction does a tire have when it's hanging in the air? ;)
About the same, which was his point I believe.
When you are high centered on that rock because you have so much flex, the tires have no traction. That's why so many TJ folks have to carry those 'widow makers', commonly called high lift jacks...

A tire on the ground, even with very little weight on it, has more traction than one spinning in the air. Not much mind you, but a little is better than none at all. That was my point, obviously. ;)
As opposed to being high centred on a rock and having one (or more) tire in the air? I'd prefer to keep my feet on the ground, even without much weight on 'em. ;)
On the plus side, no flex makes tire changes a LOT easier. lol
That's why real Jeepers use spools. God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
