Default Transfer Case Drop/Axle Shims with new lift?

Looking for some good advice and help on what to do with a new lift.

I am about to purchase a 3.5" RE AAL kit. I already have 2" coil spacers and 2" extended rear shackles installed on the vehicle and most likely will keep them on with the new kit. With the new lift kit on there, I assume there will be some driveline problems. I don't know what method is best to try and attack any problems that might come up. There are 2" Transfer case drops kits out there and different angle axle shims but I'm just kinda lost as to whats best. I'm trying not to have to go all out with a SYE and CV driveshaft because of the costs. Is it even possible?

Any help would be awesome? Thanks

I wouldnt go the AAL route unless your current spring packs are brand new because AAL will sag pretty fast. If you need a t-case drop I would go much more than 1.25" because anything larger will put to much stress on your motor and trans mounts.(Plus the loss of ground clearence) Not all xj's need t-case drops or shims though. After I installed my re 3.5" kit i didnt have any vibes, but every jeep is different.
