He has a rancho 4" suspension lift 2"budget boost spacers 32" MT tires 01 Kia sportage,Removed front bumper,Warn manual hubs, Soon To Come.Cb,4"lift,31's,Custom front bumper,Rock sliders,Winch,Roof rack,Hitch Make it Break it Re: 96 Jeep GC clunking after we went mudding [Re: ChrisB] #941920 04/25/09 05:16 PM Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 278 WI C cjensen Mudrunner You stated that the diff was drained of fluid and it was needing to be refilled. I am iclined to believe it is a leak in the front seals and the with the fluid evacuated the metal on metal prob destroyed something in the front axel... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Then again you state the drive shaft is at an extreme angel...that to could have some play in this equation.

And, with that much lift, did he do a tranny/t-case drop?? Extreme driveline angles are a disaster waiting to happen.
