Default lift and shackles?

well i know that all Cherokees are different but i will be doing a 4.5 inch rc and i was going to add shackles and a coil spacer so i could fit 33 inch tires a little better....so i wanted to know if shackles and a t case drop will fix the drive line angles. i have a 3 inch lift not and i don't have a t case drop and i have no problems at all.....well it is 3 in the front 2 in the back.

MAYBE, you can try a TC Drop, but plan to get a SYE. Besides the possible vibes, the stock slip yoke and shaft set-up is still Too short for any lift over 3".

Its worth doing the SYE, You don't have to worry about your D.S. falling out.
RE hack n tap 99$ then buy a front shaft and your good.
