Default Lift now vibration

I just did a 4.5" lift on my XJ. I did the transfer case drop and I know to completely get rid of drive vibrations is to do a SYE but I am getting a vibration while I am stopped. Feels kind of like a bad motor mount or something but it was never there before the lift. What could be causing this?

the t-case mount puts added pressure on your motor mounts. If they were worn before the tcase drop, the tcase crop could have caused them to go totally bad. pop the hood ans look at them. or at least have someone rev the motor in neutral while you look at the engine and see if it more more than a half inch. if so, it is most likely your motor mounts. Which will be a bear to replace as long as your tcase drop is installed.

Check out my build to see how i did a SYE and rear driveshaft conversion for less that $250. The sye install was pretty easy and strait forward.

He's correct the TC drop kit can open a whole new can of worms with the motor/trans mounts, at that height an SYE is really needed.
