Intro & Engine mount lift question

[Tetanus]

Hey, my name is Craig & I just joined this forum recently. I live near Raleigh, NC. This appears to be a very informative forum!

I've read that a few people have raised their drivetrain including the engine, and I'm wondering if there are pictures or a description of how people are raising their engine mounts. I'm pondering this idea on my '75 K10 w/ 350, TH350, NP203/ORD genI doubler/clocking ring/NP205 drivetrain. The truck also has a d44 4.10 Detroit locker, GM12 bolt 4.10 Detroit locker, 4" rancho lift and 3" body. 35" BFG Mt's. Any pictures, links and/or info. would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hope to meet and/or wheel with some of you if you're ever out on the east coast!

Craig

I don't know of any way you can raise your engine mount except with a special made spacer, it will have to be offset to work too since the mount is at an angle.
I do however know that between a 2wd and a 4wd mount there is about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of difference, I had a 2wd mount on my 4wd and the balancer was hitting the crossmember.
Not much help I guess.
