Transfer case question
I tried posting this question in the 86-96 section for older f-150s and larger but I haven't had much luck there.
Maybe you 4x4 guys/gals can help me out.
I am doing a rebuild on my transfercase (Borg Warner 1356) in my 88 diesel single cab and I have been reading some stuff that concerns me a bit. My case is not braced and I am running 6" rear blocks and 38" tires. I have heard that an unbraced case is very suceptible to damage from axlewrap, which I am sure I have.
My question is: should I fab up a brace for the transfer case? If so, should I use rubber bushings so that is can flex a bit as I twist up the frame off-road, or can it be a solid mount?
Thanks for your advice.

I do not think that you will have any problems with your transfercase regarding axle wrap. I have the same t-case with 37's and I have yet to have a problem. I've snapped u-joints and such, but never a t-case issue. The 13-56 isn't really a heavy T-case, I can see an NP-205 needing a brace, but with the 13-56 case, you should be fine.
