yep...my 01 with 3.5 RE (more like 4") needed one. Felt like I was in a plane taking off while accelerating...everything would start shaking real bad. Porc SYE + Junkyard driveshaft + New ujoints = super smooth drive.

 

well i had a meeting at work today and im def going with the 3". if i need a sye then i'm just going to sell the jeep and buy a car. sorry if i offended anyone but i just found out i am losing 10 dollars an hour!!! YES I SAID TEN DOLLARS AN HOUR!!! so i am not in the greatest of moods. so i'm going to order my lift next week and probably the rims to. and when i get the money saved some 31s. sound like a plan......thanks for the help guys and girls

 

well that sucks ********* on a stick, sorry bout that man.

 

yah i get paid piece work and there replacing the manual machine that i run with an automated one. i'm not that angry becuase i've been lifting 45lb bags of pine shavings for 2 years and my body cant take it much longer. 2400 of them a day 5 to 6 days a week. .07cents a bag. but its all over after next week. thats why i'm laid off next week and want to put a lift in to keep me outta trouble!

 

but if i do go with 3" and decide to go an inch higher with shackles and a coil spacer will my 3" lift shocks be ok? and could i run it with the stock lower arms till i got enough money for the adjustable ones?

 

Not a good idea. The arms are maxed out at 3" and would be a very bad ride at 4". The axle would be pulled to far in plus your flex would be limited. You can make some homemade bpe's to make up for the shocks. As it's been said, if off road use is your goal then the best idea is to wait it out and buy a 4.5" kit.
