Low Hump in a 4x4?

Anyone done it? Is it possible? I'm thinking it might be possible with a body lift but not sure. Anyone have any insight on this for me?

Re: Low Hump in a 4x4?

Body lift would definitely sovle the clearance issue.... not sure how much higher the hump is... ORD makes a 1" lift kit out of aluminim. That might be all you would need.

Re: Low Hump in a 4x4?

What transmission?I assume automatic.I've converted low-hump to high-hump.I like the ease of access.I never considered what you are,but wonder about the transfer case shifter location and action.

Re: Low Hump in a 4x4?

When I converted my 2WD to 4wd I had to raise the body 1 inch to clear the transmission (turbo 350).

Re: Low Hump in a 4x4?

Well I crawled up under the truck to see what kind of clearance..... I don't know why the previous owner put a high hump in it? It has PLENTY of clearance from everything. He only cut out a small section of the original low hump and then bolted the high hump in. I think it was to clear the floor shifter that's in there. It's the only thing I can even see that would cause interference. It's a turbo-350 and a 205 transfer case. I'm going to a low hump when I do my floor pans.
