So I just put my rear lift on this weekend. It was a loot more with than I thought it would be so my front end won't go on until next weekend. But I am getting vibrations staying at 20 mph. I have a 1 inch transfer case drop kit I haven't put on yet. Should this fix the vibes? And are t case drops bad for for your jeep

 

I know it fixed my vibes, I put the 1inch on mine as well.

 

T case drops are a band aid and sure they'll fix some vibes but can cause others. They reduce the angle on the rear shaft but increase it on the front which causes u joints to wear faster and it will make your transmission and motor mounts wear faster since they will now be sitting at an angle they weren't made for. That's just a start. Save up and do it right and get a SYE.

 

^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^

 

I didn't know they caused problems when I ordered it. I've heard other ppl on the forum say their vibes just went away after a few weeks. Do you know if this is common? Does one inch drop on the transfer case really affect things that bad? Thanks!!

 

How long have you had your t case drops? I've been hearing things about it wearing on a lot of other things. I really want a smooth ride but I don't think I can afford/install a sye my self! Thanks!

 

Yes they wear out the motor and trans mount much faster. Proper way to make less problems is to just install an SYE kit (most common way) or if you have some mechanical ability doing a hack n tap.

 

Man I just don't have the four to 5 hundred for an sye. Until I can afford one of those what do you think is less hard on my xj?.. Driving with the vibrations or putting my drop kit in there

 

Ive had mine in for 7 years .I did have to replace my original motor mount because they wore out. Another way to decrease angles is rear shackles it will pitch rear youke up. The best thing is a sye it helps angles and in my case eliminated fluid from seeping out if I had to run with out rear shaft.

 

Deff putting a drop kit in is better than vibration issue.

 

$4-500!?!??
I need to raise my prices....A LOT!!

 

You can find them for quite a bit less than 5 bills. Anywhere from 150 to 200 is average.

 

x2.

 

the $4-500 one are including a new rear ds i believe

 

Go ahead and put the drop in and it will probably take care of your vibes. Mine has been running with it ever since it was lifted (bought it that way 2 years ago). But realize one thing it is just a Band-Aid. It is increasing the angle on your front drive shaft and will be putting a lot of stress on u-joints.


I am going to be doing an SYE/drive shaft when the 8.8 goes it, but that will be quite a while. I figure I will roll the dice until I have the $$$$. But it sits most of the time so I should be OK till then (not a DD)
