Transfer Case dropped but still having Vibrations
So I'm new at this but here it goes.
I have 98xj that im putting a 4.5inch rc lift on. I bought the kit used but only for about 6 months so its in good shape. Finally after about 6 days of working mostly on my own for bout 3 hours a day i got everything on. I went to drive down the road and i started getting vibrations from the transfer case i believe but i put the drop kit in. Does anyone have any idea what i should do to solve this?

I just did a 3" lift and I'm noticing minor vibes in the steering wheel. I've already rebuilt the rear driveshaft when I swapped out the Dana 35 to an 8.25. So next I'm going to rebuild the front driveshaft. I think the u joints are worn. After all those years of working one way when you change the angle all of a sudden, they don't like that. I would try that. They probably need to be replaced anyway.

You do need an SYE, there is not much range of movement with the stock slip yoke. If you're getting a vibration on level ground, just think of how much of a bind the ujoint will be in if and when the rear axle droops into a hole.
