What year is your jeep.

Most likely you'll get vibes but every jeep is different with a lift. That's why people say lift first then see if you need it

Do the lift and see how she reacts. Then make your decision. Honestly i say go SYE but i know nowlt everyone wants to install one but im so much happier with my SYE over the TC drop i had. I get that clearance back plus o have no vibes at all now.

I'll end up with a sye. The tc is just temp till I can get one but that's what I'll do. Other then that my jeep should do fine with its factory stuff with just 3.5"

The shims were needed when I installed my SYE but I also increased lift by 1 1/2" at the same time to 4 1/2" total.

Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money "NOW" and buy a high quality HD Dbl. Shear Track Bar instead of a cheapie that is a piece of junk that will need to be replaced in a few miles. Another good idea is the V8 GC tie rod upgrade for under a $100 from AutoZone cheap and 10x stronger than stock.

I love my IRO trac bar. That thing has held my jeep in place. Haven't had any DW issues even with crappy city highways and hitting potholes at 65mph
