dual case crossmember question?

I am making a crossmember that bolts off the rear off the transfer case, tube with nissan rubber shock eyes on both ends. Need to know how much further back is the dualcase from standard. Just making the brackets to weld to the chassis & need the measurement as i dont have the adapter yet! Is the AA the same thickness or diffferent to the marlin?
does the horseshoe cross member have to be modified?

going by memory the xtra case sets the flange back about 165mm (note going by memory) you should not need to modify the horse shoe crossmember!!!

yeah it is 165.
If you have a 4runner, which i know you dont, but someone else might, you do need to mod the horse shoe.

This with or without a CV?? I havn't got shafts to put on but it looks like it will fit on my 4runner with not mods to the horse shoe x-member!!
But I currently have my t/case at the standard height. You have raised your t/cases up right?? this is probably why you had to mod the x-member, Right??

i havent got my dualcase in yet, hell i dont even know where it is, but with a 2 inch driveline lift the drive shaft rubs on the horse collar.

The measurments posted above sound right to me.
From what i have read about the dual cases in a 4runner if you run the D/line at stock hight without a double cardin joint there are no mods needed on the hourshoe but if you lift the driveline or add a D/C joint you need to remove it or atlest notch it.

One thing i do know for sure is with the Tcase lifted 5inches the horseshoe crossmember must be removed as the tailshaft goes straight through it and this is on a dual cab chassie.

sounds like my cruiser.
4.5 inch engine/gbox lift
0 body lift.
The bonnet clears the engine by about 5mm.
