The problem is, should i lift the front and then the SYE or do the reverse? I will need to have time between each task as i have a breaker bar and sockets to do the work and not much time on days off to do the whole thing at once. I already hear a clacking periodically when i apply gas at approximately 20mph. I assume it is the case chain.

When you drop the tre transfer case, you're essentially putting more stress on the motor mounts AND even though you decrease the angle of the rear driveshaft, you increasing the angle of the front. The SYE puts the angle of the motor and transmission back where it's supposed to be and the angles of the front and rear driveshafts are both back where they should be.

Picked up these 4 17"s w/ 245's for $160. Now I just need heavy duty rear leaves, 2 inch coil spring spacers, wheel adapters, and new lug nuts so they'll fit lol.

Thanks again errbody!

A friend tried both and felt the 265/75 setup was night and day superior for onroad handling vs. the 32x11.5. He stated the larger wheel / less sidewall was the primary reason.

I am only looking for opinions from people who have used both setups or something similar.
