Transfer case drop

on my 73 f250, i want to drop the transfer case down a bit so that i can keep my pinion angles correct with my 3 inch lift. How much can i safely lower it without messing up the linkage or the small driveshaft angle? i plan on making some spacers or maybe even washers...

Or you could jump in with both feet and get a Profab or SCS transfer case and go big. Alright, that wasn't much help but with only 3" of lift I don't think you'll have much to worry about.
