Has anyone ever put dual t-cases under a Jeep. I was wandering if it was possible to put a dual t-case setup under a CJ7 and still have driveshafts left. I know that Broncos and Toys can use then, but is it possible under a jeep. Is it also possible to make dual t-cases out of the dana 20 or a dana 300 t-case.

dual 20 transfer cases 2.06 x2.06 = 4.24. model 300 with terralow 4.00, for the cost to buy a 300 and the gears you would be money ahead, the drive shaft angles would be better too. I just saw you have a 1980 cj7 don't you all ready have a 300? even if you have quadratrack this would be a bolt in swap

I don't believe that It can be done on a cj7 because the rear driveshaft just won't have any legenth left. Thats why you see dual T/C on trucks plenty of wheelbase and rear driveshaft

t-18 = 6.38 low, dana 300 = 4 , axles down to 5.38, how deep do you need to go?

How Deep? I don't know, but my Jeep doesn't have the stock drive train. It has a muncie 465 and I think a dana 20 t-case. Yes this is a 1980 CJ7. If it is a dana 300 then it has a dana 20 stick. My gears are 3.54:1 and I have 31 inch tires. It feels a little under powered on road and off road in first gear. I can go anywhere I want, but I am hard on clutches. I was think dual t-cases as a trick setup to get a lower gear, but the previous posts concern me about drive shaft angle. I was thinking however that landcruisers and broncos can use dual t-cases.

If you do have the 20 transfercase then I would go with the Tera gears. They make a 3.15 low range kit
to fit the 20. I agree with the other posts regarding driveshaft angles. Nickmil.

I dont think it would work well unless a lot more was modified. Think about it... Folks are plopping down wads of cash for a Slip Yolk Eliminator kit just to gain 3-4 inches of driveshaft to make driving their rigs bearable. What you're talking about "could" be done, but you'd have to do a lot of other work to get it to be livable. Like maybe go to a slim electric fan in front of the radiator and move the motor mounts forward a few inches, move the transmission in a similar fashion, which may mean fabricating new shifter linkage, maybe move the rear axle back a little, etc... I'd say go with a Terra kit and be done with it. Just my opinion, anyway... Hope it helps. Happy Jeepin'!
