After rebuilding my transmission and reinstalling everything it appears my 4.0 has a slight lean back. Just bought it 2 months ago and had to redo the transmission so not real familiar with how the engine looked beforehand. Since the crossmember under the transfer case is in place I'm a little stumped here.

I wouldn't imagine the back part of the engine having to come up since the crossmember is in place. Would I have to lower the front part of the engine to have it flush? If so how would I go about doing that? Also there is a slight hesitation when revving the idle.

So nobody knows anything about this?
 






Have you replaced your motor mounts and trans mount?
If not, I would start there. Go polyurethane if you can.

I just got the motor mounts in the mail. Looks like it's going to be a tricky job on the driver (left) side.
