Has anyone had probems with 5in lift and tc drop. I have the 242 t case. Im still debating to had 2 in spacers to my 3 in coils. Im just wondering if there is anyone that had bad problems with the lift and drop. Thanks

Yeah i know, i would be doing it not to long after i put it in. But tc drop would be temp. If you do a sye do you have to get new driveshafts? that kinda confuses me. Sorry

i've been told that you will need a new driveshaft with SYE. a ZJ front driveshaft. my rear is about 5 in. and tc drop is doing fine. i'm planning on doing sye sometime.

you can do a hack n tap sye and use a front driveshaft. this is very cheap.

check your motor mounts. the twisting on them due to the drop wears them out alot faster.

A SYE is always a better solution. Just save your money and wait until you can do it all at the same time (lift and SYE)
