Default Drive line issue with more lift.

Hey, i have a 99 cherokee with 3in leafs in the rear, i'm running 285/75/R16's with spacers but they still rub. I don't have a SYE right now but will get one int he no so near future. Im looking at rusty's shackles because i'm ordering some other stuf from there and want to do it all at once. I'm split between the 0.75in and 1.5in lift shackles. I would prefer the 1.5's because its lifted 5in int he front (it doesn't look that off level), but i'm worried that if i go with the 1.5in shackles i'll get bad driveline vibes and be forced to get the SYE right away...

any opinions? i know every jeep is different

thanks, jordan

I would just save for the SYE first and then level it out. with the shackles you will need a SYE. every XJ is different and you can say you will not or will have vibes. you have to install to find out.
