Do I need a transfer case drop with adjustable control arms?

[gatertamer]

can I lose the tc drop if I have adj. control arms by moving my pinion angle?

If you add an sye and a cv driveshaft.
With the stock two joint driveshaft the output of your transmission and the center line of your pinion need to be parallel.

You can lose the transfer case drop only if you have a SYE and CV driveshaft to go along with those adjustable control arms.

so no matter what angle I can get my pinion adjusted to...... it's not possible?

Nope, you need the SYE and CV driveshaft, otherwise that transfer case drop needs to stay in there.

I do not have a TC drop and still running the stock DS. Now I am running a 4" Currie lift with Adj. CA's all upper and lower. Mine is a Rubicon so I know is does not use the same DS as the OP

Wow! This is going to require some serious study. It is now obvious why so many sing praises of Tom Wood.
