IMO unless you do some serious rock crawling or go over hills the 1 inch will not hurt it...Tj

X2 if your worried about clearance issues. That's why I installed a SYE because my skid plates get used a awful lot. With a TC drop it will be worse.

It puts extra stress on the motor mounts due to the angle change, but a few of my friends have run them for years and their rigs are just fine.

I think my 1 inch TC drop is responsible in part for my currently shot motor mounts, and trans mount. I also don't like the fact that the crossmember is getting ALOT of abuse on the trails. I am sitting at around 3" lift, and am going under the grinder to hack and tap
But overall, I think TC drop is a viable solution to some XJ's driveline problems, just not mine.
