Hey everyone I'm new here but I'm not new to jeep I have an 1988 jeep wrangler with soa and I did have a 94 jeep cherokee.

I did a 4.5 and needed the sye. With the stock setup the yokes hit each other. They make transfer case drops but never used it

You do not need a drop pitman arm. NEVER. Trackbar needs to be either replaced with an adjustable or relocated and redrilled. Stryker has a writeup on how he relocated his.

As for a SYE each Jeep is different, but that said, the newer your Jeep is the more likely a SYE is going to be needed to eliminate the vibrations. t/c drops are a bad idea IMO and are just a temp solution for the problem until you can install the SYE.
