I am gonna buy one, and have looked at the marlin, allpro, and bud built, right now i am leaning towards the bud built, b/c it looks like the best bang for the buck, is there any other manufactures out there that i am forgeting? Which one will give you the most clearance? If you have experience with any please post up. Which one would you buy?

 

I'd go with the BudBuilt. Plenty strong and no crazy bracing around the T-Case without a bottom skid like some others. Check out the latest issue of 4Wheel & Off-Road mag. There's a small pic. and comment within the "Clampy" article. The price is probably the best as well. Later.

Are we the only one's who protect their t-cases, come on people chime in

 

I recently got a BudBuilt crossmember with 7/8" drivetrain lift and really like it.
The only disadvantage i have is that my V6 T-case hangs down a lot lower than a 4cyl so the crossmember doesn't really protect it. I'm getting a custom T-case skid plate made that will be bolted or welded to the crossmember. With a 4cyl, you wont need to do anything.
