I finished my budget lift and ended up a bit higher than I thought it would be.
The issue I have is around 65mph I have some minor vibrations, it doesn't effect handling at all.
I know its from the rear drive line.
I currently have 2degree shims on the rear and I am wanting to know what would be better, a higher degree shim or a Tcase drop? Also would it be ok to wait till next spring to fix it(either with shims/tcase drop, or do it right with a sye) or should I get it taken care of asap?
below are before and after pictures

2" lift? can't quite tell, that's some artistic camera angles... you shouldn't be vibing with that small of a lift, but every jeep is different... you sure you didnt always have that vibration and just now notice it because your more aware.
Don't wait, just slap a transfer case drop on now, it will take at most $20 and an afternoon to do... bigger angle shims would be more work in my opinion.
nice jeep.

Its kinda bad camera angle, its a bit higher than it looks. I got around 4" over where it was, which was sagging alot. I will try to get a better one tomorrow.
