Exclamation Dual Cases Triple Sticks!

So I have all my Marlin Crawler parts for my dual setup behind my A340F, I decided I wanted triple sticks instead of cutting two holes in the floor.
First model as shown:

That is so sweet. What options does the triple allow compared to a dual?

I like the set up. But really it is the exact same as dual case with twin sticks. The only way your going to get front digs is a rear DL disconnect. FROR make one.

Yes, it is the same as twin sticks on the back case and a single on the front, it's just that all the sticks are together. Also the rear case is rotated 10deg so regular twin sticks would be at an angle. That's the motivation for making it this way.

I got twin sticks with the regularly clocked crawl box. How are you going to mount it? what type of Skid plate?

The boots I buy from JB Fab.
Update, been running these all winter, man it's nice to have those levers all in one spot. Also it left room to install a set of cup holders between the seats for my Gatorade.(I wheel alcohol free.)

So I am sure it has been asked before, but do you have to run a body lift for that setup or does it clear without one? I really like the setup and I think it is the answer to keeping my bench and having duals.

Is the purpose of having the rear box rotated to get less drive line angle? Also if I understand correctly it is clocked down not left or right. Am I correct with that?

Wrong, the prupose is to have more ground clearance, the t-case is rotated 10* up.

The lever setup in the pics work on either rotated rear case or not. I have a rotated 10* rear, a lot of guys are running dual non rotated cases. Your option.
