Default Front differential mounting points ?

I have found two of these mounting points for the front diff to bolt to the frame.. Are there anymore mounting points/ brackets that actually hold it to the frame. I was thinking of making 1-2" spacers to drop the axle to adjust the cv axle angles

3 mounting points, one on each side bracket & one at crossmember where it rests. You can't drop it without dropping crossmember, and that will lower your clearance altogether.

Bad idea. And the CV angle is properly designed, that is not a cause of failure.

I'm assuming The t bars have been cranked before I bought so the cv angle seems a little drastic. Jw if it was an easy fix like that idea I had

Before you go krazy and lower the diff, measure the front end height from the center of the hub nut to the bottom of the fender flare. You should be UNDER 23.5".

If you are over that adjust the torsion bars to lower it to a respectable measurement at or below 23.5. I wouldn't mess with spacers. Your front diff pinion and prop shaft will thank you down the road.

True that, ............ it's an idea, ............ just not a good one in practical application..


It's all been done years ago, results were not good, and it is not needed.

Taint has had at least 5 H3/H3Ts and CB is on his second. CB's son is driving the first (an 06) that has probably been T Bar adjusted since the second day on his driveway and it has a bunch of miles (I mean a Bunch) on it, CV angle is not an issue at 23.5".

Hey Doc, CB is on #3. His youngest son has an 07 White H3. It's really clean too.

I was lucky enough to have 3 in the driveway for most of last year, it was a lovely sight! Sold the '06 Green H3 to a wheeling buddy last spring (DataPimp's son), still have the '07 White H3 that's my son Nick's, and the '10 H3T Alpha that is constantly abused

Picked up a 2016 Jeep JK for my wife this week, special ordered for her. Not nearly as stable on highways with wind as a 6000 Lb Hummer, but I DO like it!
