Seems silly, but I am just spitballing ideas. It is looking like I will be getting a B2 soon. And it seems silly to want 4x4 and sitting low, but this isn't planned as a trail machine. I would like to get it to sit about as low as a stock 4x2 Ranger.
How low can the TTB go and not hit the engine crossmember?
How much of that crossmember DARE I cut to clear the front pumpkin before worrying about supporting the passenger side arm?
How low can the TTB go before alignment becomes a problem?
Since the B2 crossmember isn't drilled for the 2.3 4 banger, I'd like to consider a custom crossmember. Which means no TTB, but use a D30 solid axle.
Is there a BW series transfer case that could bolt up to my 5 speed, that offers fulltime (AWD) and part time functions?
I'm looking at lowering to help with MPGs. I'm not looking to build a trail machine, just something with 4x4 for snow that will get better MPG than my Jeep or Supercrew. If I do get a B2 in the next couple months, I AM swapping my 90 2.3 and 5 speed in. And likely swapping a 1350 manual shift in instead of the 1354E, for simplicity. The rest is just bench racing...
