Whats the best way to adjust driveline angle after a 3 inch lift

I put a 3 inch lift on my recently purchased Cherokee XJ. I'm not sure how to adjust the drive-line angle on a vehicle with leaf springs. I have a lot of vibration after the lift.

Degree shims. Also look into a SYE, normally not needed at 3", but every jeep is different.

Yep, I ended up putting a SYE on and 4-degree shims under my leaf springs on my 3" lift. If you don't want to go that route, you can do a transfer case drop, but then you've got the added strain on your motor mounts and lose some clearance. The former is the better option albeit more expensive.
