Since I'm a proud (most of time) owner of a black sheep 200 (2016+ LX), I've no choice but to pollute the most populated thread for a simple question.
Is anyone 2016+ (preferably LX bc of AHC and E Brake) running Slee Skids and mind helping me out for a sec?
I recently bought a set off of
@bloc and we installed it without issue.
Me being extremely detail obsessive, and him being ridiculously handy around a vehicle, I do not believe we made any mistakes...
Since then, immediately after install, I started to notice a thunk coming from the area underneath the vehicle.
I am 80-90% sure it is coming from the T-Case cage tapping the rearward main skid. The instructions do not call for it to be removed.
Since I just moved and I'm exhausted, I haven't had time to pull things apart nor do I have the garage cleared out to do it.
Has anyone experienced this issue? I do believe there are some key differences in the updated 8 Spd and driveline that are not captured anywhere on the forum.
Bloc being attentive as he is, noticed the components looked different. Ive yet to measure things to compare with him since I've been swamped.
Slee has no idea what I'm talking about either and says they have never experienced that.
Can anyone advise?
Secondary question is if that is indeed the case, would removing the cage compromise anything if an impact did take place under the T-Case?
Here is a pic of what CBI has done on their ground up 2016+ skid. Notice the awkward catch point at the drop for the Transfer Case.
Looks like they did also ditch the cage.

Thanks in advance to all the forum losers.
