Review on πŸ”§ Rugged Ridge 18305.10 Transfer Case Lowering Kit for 87-06 Jeep Wrangler YJ/TJ: Enhance Performance and Durability by Kevin Apriando

You get what you pay for

No wonder this kit is cheap. The spacers are heavy duty hard plastic which seems normal but don't have a metal sleeve like the other kits. I'm not sure about the durability of the plastic spacers, but they compress where the spacer meets the nut on the bottom of the frame. After tightening them to 40lbs I removed the spacers 3 days later and since they were compressed they were much looser than when installed. At least I would double check the tightness of the screws. Tip, whichever kit you choose, I recommend using plenty of anti-seize on the bolts as the nuts (the threaded insert in the frame) tend to seize. Problems removing the screws. If you're lucky you didn't have any problems removing these screws, Anti-Seize will help ensure you don't have any problems in the future. Don't drag them either.
