for the tc? ull get some do it right the first time get a sye/ or do a tc drop its ok answers. mine is the first i just wanted to get it done off the bat cause i know i am going to wheel and i like the clearance. a t/c drop is fine and its really not going to do anything bad. but everyone always says its temporary.
just my opinion.

sway bar. u should get longer ends if ure sway bar is below +10/15 degrees from horizontal .
hope it helps david

IM unsure about the sway bar but I have 3.5" of lift and I did a t case drop and shimmed my rearend and all my vibes are gone. It is more so a dd but it runs like a champ now. I would do the t case drop or just make one

when i lifted to 3" i used a 3" TC drop and it eliminated my vibe. yes it does result in your TC brace sitting 1" lower. when i went to 5.5" i kept the TC drop added 2" rear shackles and 3* shims and i have no vibe what so ever. the only catch being i have to park on a hill to fill up gear oil.

Just buy a length of 1"x1" steel tube from home depot & take 1 of the bolts in to match up, so you can get all 4 the same size just 1" longer!!! cost like $7-$8 total for the Tcase drop...
