Default T-case drop

I have the RC one that came with my lift. It's just 4 little plastic spacers. You think this will be fine or should I just go get some 1inch square tubing and drill a couple holes in it?

How big of a lift?
If you are going 4" or over just spend the money on a SYE.

It's 4.5in. I don't particularly see the need to do SYE if the T-Case drop will cure my vibes. If it doesn't cure the vibes, then I'll probably do the hack n tap or get franks with a front driveshaft. Hell I don't even know if I have vibes yet. That **** has been sitting in the garage for a week waiting for tomorrow till I can get more tools. I'm doing the u joints. I can't find IROs hack n tap anymore on their site. I guess they are pushing the mega short.

This is true. Later on down the road I'll do a SYE but for now this will do, I don't think 1in will make a huge difference anyway. We'll see what happens. lol

that is not entirely true... I mean you are still clearing taller tires and gaining valuable clearance under the axles and everywhere else so it may not be as good as a 4.5" kit and a SYE BUT it is still more clearance than a 3.5" kit, when you count the extra clearance that the bigger tires allow it's even better
