Hey drew do you have any driveline vibes with that amount of lift in the rear? If so what do you have to cure it a SYE, hack & tap, shim, or tc drop, a combo of stuff, or nothing?

 

i dont have any problems and i didnt doanything.only thing is i cant keep it in 4lo i have to go 4hi so were guessing it the transfer case so ill get a tc drop soon.

 

Ok then that should work for me. My tc doesn't stay in 4lo and it's bone stock currently (grinds like a stick when you forget the clutch or pops out once I hit drive). I think my TC is jacked up or my linkage is. Hopefully it's the later. Thanks

 

i would say its your linkage. i had problems with mine hitting a bolt when in 4l. just look underneath and you can probably bend it back out of the way. if that is the problem

 

Rusty Offroad is the perfect place if you're planning for a budget build... Lots of great jeep parts with cheap parts that works pretty well...
