most kits come with the TCL and the brake line relocation brackets you dont REALLY NEED the new drive shaft if you have a 2 door or you really articulate alot in the rear.

Drive shaft length! Either way it will be fine with the TCase drop, & brake line relocations! Don't go cheapo, get the full leaf packs not AAL!!!

After 4 inches of lift, its always recomended that you buy an SYE kit and a new driveshaft. My 4.5" lift came with new stainless steel brake lines and a TC drop. I dont have any vibrations, however my rear output shaft bearing is being worn and is starting to make some noise.
P.S. Dont get AAL!!!!! go with the FULL PACKS!

I have a 2 door on 5" lift w/TC drop & I've had no problems for 3-4 years now! Its a trail rig only, so it will flex with the best of them!!!

I dont see the need to a new driveshaft unless your intalling a SYE (slip yoke eliminator).
I wouldnt worry about it, as long as you drop the t-case.

Listen to the man he know's what he's talking about lol. I didn't and went with a AAL.... that and shackles was supposed to give me 4.5 lift.... yeah well I had to do 1.5 blocks to even it out. I'm looking for new leafs right now!!!! N prolly won't do the SYE till I get to about 6"..... no flexin here tho just mud!!! 4.5 with TCase drop drove fine!!!!!
