I have a 3.5" lift on my 96 Cherokee. It had some good vibrations going on so, I did a transfer case drop. I dropped it 1". It made a huge difference. However, there is still just a bit of drive line vibrations left. What else could I do to eliminate it? Could I drop it another 1/2" or so? I can live with the way it is now. It's definitely better than it was. But if there's something that's cheap and easy to do, I'll do it. How far can a transfer case be dropped, anyways? Thanks!

Axle shims

There is always going to be a drive vibration in a lifted 4 link jeep most of vibration comes from the drive shafts but adding axle shims could help a little more but there's onistly no way to Eliminate it :/ trust me I have a Cherokee and it rides like a brick but I don't mind it haha

Check ur ujoints. Put in Axle shims And make sure u have a proper alignment, or ditch the tcase drop and invest in a sye, you can add another 1/2" of drop to ur tcase by getting a cross member from a manual transmission

I'll put this nicely......NO. You should not have vibrations after lifting it. If there are vibrations, something's not right. If something's not right, you should fix it.

To the OP - Like Jeepxj19 said, 4* axle shims and new u-joints for the rear shaft is a good solution. SYE is the best option, but it cost a decent chunk of money. Or, for dirt cheap, you could drop the t-case more. I'd do this one as a last resort as the more you drop it the less ground clearance it has. IMo, do the shims and u-joints.

have you shimmed the rear pinion at all? A lot of people that drop the tc fail to adjust their pinion angle as well. The angle of the output shaft of the transfercase should be parallel to the input shaft of the rear differential to prevent vibrations.

replace your u joints take a look at the centering yoke
