TeraFlex says it raises ground clearance there by up to 2-1\/4\" over the factory plate, about what 4\" taller tires would give. It is CNC laser cut and bent from 1\/4\" steel with a black powder coat. It requires a TeraFlex NP231 Short Shaft or Extreme Short Shaft Kit, some driveline fine tuning, and modification on Rubicon or Atlas transfer cases; TeraFlex lists about three hours of labor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 2-1\/4\" clearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore room under the belly than the factory skid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-profile design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTucks up close to the drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4\" laser-cut steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCNC laser cut and bent, per TeraFlex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack powder coat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeraFlex's durable finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort shaft kit required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePairs with TeraFlex's NP231 short shaft kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout three hours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeraFlex's labor estimate for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp;
