I am putting a similar lift on my '97 Sport and have a few questions. I am using Old Man Emu 1 3/4" lift front springs and Crown replacement "up country" spring packs and new shackles that allow for 1" of lift.

I bought a 1" drop kit for the transfer case, is this something I really need to use? Any driveshaft concerns I should address? I have the Chrysler 8.25 in the rear and Dana 30 HP in the front with 3:55 gears. I plan on running 30x9.5x15 tires on 15x7 rims. Also, I have yet to pick out shocks. Any suggestions? I have years of engine and driveline experience but this is the first Jeep I've lifted. Thanks.
