Default T-Case drop? Coil Spacers?

A couple weeks ago I installed an RC 3 inch full leaf pack lift kit. I now have slight drive line vibes (almost feel like they are coming from under the seat or rear of vehicle, hard to tell). My 92 XJ now sits approx 1 inch or so lower in the front which I also want to resolve.

My question is; would installing coil spacers, which I want to do regardless to level out XJ, have any impact on vibes? Do I try just the coil spacers or should I also order a TCase drop kit? (I am aware of SYE / drive shaft is the long term solution for vibes... when money allows).

Thanks!

Hack and tap is another option for the SYE dilemma.

As for the 1 inch higher in the rear, that'll go away and no a coil spacer wont do anything for the vibes.

Put in the t-case drop ASAP and I mean ASAP or you'll mess up a lot more than just a couple ujoints.
