I would also suggest looking into Ironrockoffroad.com. They have good LA radius arm kits for a fair price. Their quality and customer service is an A. |
I did a Rustys 4.5 spring pack with a 1" T case drop....I have a little vibration but not bad,,,new Ujoints will prolly fix that. Anything over 4.5 will need SYE

It allows to correct driveline angles when you go higher. Uses a double cardan DS |

Np242 w/ the 8.25 combo or something? Every rig is different but most that get the extra inch or two without vibes if from the extra inch or two off the yoke or case length in these. And yes to go crawling any incline would call your DS and case a day right then and there lol.
