In my opinion, since you have the newer NP231 t-case you dont have a long tail shaft on the t-case so it wont be as suceptable to drive line vibs so the SYE shouldnt be needed unless you go above 3.5". The longer drive shaft goes along with the SYE so above the 3.5" mark again. LCA's I would say at any height of lift. If your gonna lift your rig and spend the time and money, do it right. Get lift springs, shocks and LCA's for the front and full leaf packs or a decent bastard pack for the rear. Avoid at all cost the AAL. Just a waste of time. Lastly, the TC drop is nothing more than a bandaid on a bigger issue. Dont waste your time with TC drops. If you have drive line vibs your trying to correct, do it right with an SYE and longer drive shaft. Again, this is my opinion only! Good Luck!!

No driveline vibes with the lift? That's all I'm worried about. I probably won't go over 3" of lift anyway, but wanted to ask. I'm mostly a car guy, but finally got a jeep!
