It was funny, but we've all had that moment. When I joined forums, I didn't know what LOL, LMAO or BUMP meant.

It would be wise to get an adjustable track bar. I am ordering that from iro once I get my new debit card.

Edit: make sure for 4.5" you get the full leaf packs. Don't cheap out.

If it comes with a transfer case drop will that elimate the use of a SYE and drive shaft?

At 3" you're supposed to have one. At 4.5" you need one. I don't care who says they don't use one, it will never be aligned or fully stable without an adjustable track bar.

I always recommend the Iron Rock Offroad double shear, based on my own experience with it and the reasonable price.

The TC drop moves the problem from the driveshaft to the motor mounts. Instead of doing an Slip Yoke Eliminator to fix the problem with the slip yoke, a TC drop tilts the engine and trans toward the rear axle to bandaid the problem.

Look into an SYE. Ppl say Tc drop are good but IMHO I can't wait to get rod of my Tc drop and get a new driveshaft. To see the TC dipping low kinda feels wrong

That's the other problem. What's the point of lifting if you're gonna lower your belly an inch?
