trasfer case drop?
Hi all! First off, I'm brand new to the forum but have been coming here for tech problems a lot recently. I have a question about keeping my yoke angle acceptable. 98 cherokee with 3" rough country lift already installed, I'm going to put 3.5" coil spacers front and lift blocks back. Would I need to do a trasfer case drop to keep my yoke angle correct?
Thanks in advance!

if I understand your post correctly you plan to install a 3.5" spacer in the front and 3-4" block in the rear... on top of an existing 3" Rough country kit?
that would give you 6-7" total... you are going to need a lot more
brake lines
upper and lower control arms and/or drop brackets
shocks or shock extenders
SYE, chances are slim that you will be happy with just a t case drop
track bar will need to be addressed
better question... what are you getting this 3.5" coil spacer?
also blocks = a bad idea you should look into shackles... however the tallest I know of is a Superior Automotive 'Chevy lowering shackle" it is over 8" eye to eye and only around $35 at almost any autoparts store
but that is still only 2.5 of lift in the rear
I think you need to rethink your plan
a better option for the rear would be a Ford Ranger shackle (from the pull it your self junk yard) and a S10 bastard pack
STAY AWAY FROM BLOCKS

Yes that is my plan and I've already got the control arms upgraded looking into the yse cause I need a new yoke anyway. I'm not sure what on the track bar needs lookin at. I'm getting the spacers and blocks from a buddy who ran them for three months on his already 4" lifted cherokee. I'm not to familiar with "bastard packs" could you explain how they work and what they do?

Bastard pack is a combo of leafs from your rear and a S10 rear.
You need an adjustable trac bar for a lift your height.
Blocks are bad, I don't care who used them before you. They are bad.
