So I'm putting a 3" rough country lift in my 98 xj finally and I want to know if I need a tc drop or an sye? I hear some say yes and some say no. Which is it? Any help here would be great since ill be under there if I need any of the two I would rather do it right the first time. Thanks in advance

 

Just aboard every rig is different.. put it on and see if there's any vibes!

 

It won't damage anything without it will it? It's my dd and it would take a bit for it to be shipped to me.

 

I have a 3" on mine and I've been running it with out a tc drop no problems I do have a tc drop just waiting to put it on. No real bad vibes from the rear!

 

Nice. Well ill put it in and see what happens. Thanks

 

No problem!

 

You'll be fine without the sye, anything over 4 inches its recommended tho.

 

with just a 3 in youll be fine dont sweat it

 

i have a 3 inchin my 96 n have no problems i dont have any fancy drops all i got is the add a leaf n coil spacers aka budget lift. i have had no problems

 

97+ have a greater need for SYE's than pre-97.

 

I have a 3" lift with a TC drop on my 2000 XJ and I have some highway vibes.... Like others said. Every jeep is different. Put the lift on and see what it needs. 1999+ XJ's tend to be more sensitive to lifts tho... You should be fine, but throw her on and let us know how it goes.

 

^Beat me to it.

 

Yea X3 ive lifted about 4 xj's in the past few months 97+... mine didnt need it ... but a few of the others did... just random.... GL!

 

It's weird, because I did a 3" lift with AALs and new coils in my 95XJ sport and I had to install a drop even though everyone said I wouldn't have to.
