Default tcase drop-we bit o help?

89 xj. planning on dropping the transfer case. thinkin the sye kit will come later when a have a place to work/abit more knowledge. just had a question for someone that has around the same situation as me. 6.5 lift in the front 8.5 in the back. if i put in 2 inch spacers for the tcase cm then would that be good enough? bigger spacers? smaller? hows that going to affect the linkage for the shifter?
any help is great thanks.

if your running an 8.5 in the rear, you should prolly have Some shim spacers in the rear so your pinion angles are a little more parrallel... but i wouldn't go over an inch with drop t-case setups... yes it can throw off your linkage setup...

what are you running for control arms upper and lower in the front?
