Picked up a 2000 XJ last week with a 4.5 inch lift and 1 inch spacers up front and 1 inch blocks on the rear...yea I know not a good idea. Any way when I got it ...it had really bad vibrations. I took off the front drive shaft so see if that would help but no luck. The XJ already has an SYE installed. It also had a transfer case drop. How can I check for bad U-joints? Should I reinstall the front drive shaft and take off the rear and see how it runs? Any one experience this? The jeep was neglected for a while before I picked up.

And sure, take off the back shaft run the front and see if the vibes are gone. Dont hurt to try and diagnose it with a small test right?
At least then you will know for sure its the driveline and not tires or whatever.
