Transfer case lower kit installation:
1. To begin installation, block the front and rear tires of the
vehicle so that the vehicle is stable and can’t roll forwards
or backwards.
2. With the vehicle on the ground, place a pair of hydraulic
floor jacks under the stock transfer case cross member.
Carefully raise up on the hydraulic floor jacks at the same
time until they come into contact with the stock transfer
case cross member.
3. Working on the driver side, remove the stock hardware
that connects the stock transfer case cross member to the
stock frame rail. The stock hardware may be discarded.
Repeat procedure on the passenger side.
4. Carefully lower down on both hydraulic floor jacks at the
same time allowing enough room for the new transfer case
lower tubes to be installed.
5. Locate (2) new transfer case lower tubes, (4) 7/16” x 3”
bolts, (8) 3/8” flat washers and (4) 7/16” unitorque nuts
from hardware bag 10702NB. Working on the driver side,
install (1) transfer case lower tube between the stock trans-
fer case cross member and the stock frame rail. Secure
using (2) new 7/16” x 3” bolts and hardware. Special note:
Do not tighten at this point and make sure to use
thread lock or lock tite. Repeat procedure on the pas-
senger side. Once the driver side and passenger side
transfer case tubes have been installed, torque the new
7/16” x 3” bolts to 35 ft lbs.
