    Wondering if anyone is willing to crawl under their truck and take some measurements that has one of the other brands of drop bracket lifts that were/are popular on these trucks.

    Story goes like this...I bought a catalytic converter plate cover knowing quite possibly that there might be some modifications needed because where the cat plates typically mount may not be the same because it's a drop bracket lift. I bought the plate anyway. Did some modifications and am now kind of working with the creator of the plate to make it work with my truck but make it easier to clear the problem areas that I had to cut and weld to make the plate work. I hope this makes sense.
    I have the tuff country drop bracket lift and the rack and pinion bolts with the new crossmember are not on the same plane/ flush with the crossmember. They hang down a little bit. I'm also kind of looking for hole measurements if anyone has a skid plate underneath their front to cross members around the transfer case like myself. The holes in the plate that I bought do not line up with the factory holes that work measured on the plate. So what I'm trying to accomplish is something that will work for a couple different setups and hopefully in turn this will help other people with this truck be able to have a source for a cat plate that is affordable and when they get it they know it will fit without having to cut and weld and hack what they bought up.

    I will add my measurements from the plate I have as far as mounting holes with some more pictures when I get a little bit of time here today. Hopefully this game some traction and can help us all.
