Default New lift kit

So I just installed my d 4.5" zone full leaf kit

My question is how do I rid the vibrations from the drive line when I engage 4wd I did the transfer case drop and that did the rear drive shaft
Will an sye rid the front shaft vibs

Also the brake line drop bracket for the back is that supposed to be for the ebrake cables?
Those are fairly tight on my rig but the directions from zone I didnt think were to good
Im not into serious off roading but like hitting the trails when I can
Thanks for any and all help

The front is already a sye, well it doesnt have a slip yoke from factory. The driveline vib may just be from an out of balance front driveshaft or bad ujoints. I know of a few people who remove their front driveshaft.

When you do a tcase drop it points the front output up as it points the rear output down. You would probably need to SYE the rear and get rid of the tcase drop.

The question is, are YOU okay with it?

If it only happens in 4wd and you don't use it often you should be fine. Wouldn't hurt to drop the front shaft though.... but you should be ok either way.
