Replacing Transfer Case

Replacing Transfer Case
Replacing my t-case (snapped chain) today , also have a 4 button and I was wondering about the fluid level required after install . Good info. While I was pulling it out today I ran into a problem and also after a little scratching my head a solution . Tale of transfer case was getting wedged on the torsion support bar and the body without enough clearance to exit the tail shaft of the transmission . I remember seeing a video earlier in the week of a guy that had a 2 inch body lift could slide the transfer case right out without any trouble . So after reinstalling the transfer case , I used a bottle jack and 4 x 4 to lift the floor up inch and a half or so allowing the clearance for the tale of the transfer case. Tomorrow I am going to attempt for installation of the used transfer case . I did have almost 2 quarts of tranny fluid in the collar between the transmission and transfer case , the collar ( 6bolt on the trans side & 5 bolt on the transfer case side ) . Is that normal?

I just swapped my TCase and had ran across a tip about pulling the trans/engine forward about 1/2 inch making a big difference. I used some nylon bike tie down straps and a racheting winch (come a long) and rigged up a wooden jig to help with final lift and getting bolts started. It all worked great.
