ok i have a 3in lift at this point and my AAL is starting to sag. I was thinking of getting a 4.5 leaf spring and adding a 1.5 spacer to my front coils. Would an sye be required for this??

All they sye's i have seen are pretty expensive so id like to stay away from that if possible.

every jeep is diff you might be ok with the t case drop or you might get bad vibes either way your pinion angle is going to be pretty steep so what i would do is run the t case drop until you have enough cash to invest in an sye

sye is highly highly highly recomended and this is from experience in my old jeep i just ran a 1" tcase drop and got vibes so bad that i couldnt go past 55-60mph just wasnt possibble since getting my new jeep i went with a sye kit and the difference is night and day i dont get vibes till about 70 and thats bc iv still yet to shim. thats just my 2 cents from going both routes.
