Can oem Transfer Case be strengthened...?

Hey Gents...

Is there anything that can be done to an oem Transfer Case, in order to make it stronger, and perhaps prevent it from flexing/misaligning...?
I've heard of guys shimming the unit, as well as, increasing the main bolt to gearbox sizes...

Is this worth while...?
Has anyone here done this...?
Other recommendations...?

he does have all the answers... but is harder to get ahold of.

I would coach a noob to do some searching before immediately jumping on the phone to take TRE's time....... The info is out there, if you let it find you.

haha, It would probably not be easy shipping it from where you are but usually the builders keep the secrets to themselves.

Not too phased to ship my TC out of the country, and waiting...
However, just need to find someone willing to take on the work...

Yes they can, get ahold of Shep trans (http://www.sheptrans.com/index.htm). They make really good work of the stock trans, ask for John Shepherd.
