well, i broke my digi cam. gosh darn it, not i've gotta replace it with a dslr :guitar: . you can tell how disapointed i am 
anywhoo, that cuts into my jeep fund. i was looking to get the RE6130 kit for my '98 (including the sye kit and new drive shaft to fight the vibe monsters). i can still afford the 4.5" lift w/ the sye kit and stuff, but then i couldn't get some of the other stuff i need (armor).
so now i'm looking at a lift that i won't need the sye kit and new shaft (at least right away). i'm looking at the RE6025 3" super ride w/ rear springs. i tried to do a search, but i didn't come back with any good info. and i know, i know, each jeep reacts differenty to the same lift. but the issue is that i'm going to be doing this lift at my family's house (400 miles away from where i live). and i won't have time to do the lift, then measure the length between the transfer case and the rear diff, then order it and wait for it to arrive. so i guess i'm asking if anyone would THINK that i would be ok to lift it up 3" and install a tc drop to at least get me back to my home (again 400 miles) so i can then do a hack-n-tap?
ah crap, one more thing...would 0.5" make that much of a difference if i upped it to the RE6030 3.5" lift? damn inchitis.
like i said, i know that each jeep reacts differently. i'm just asking for "what would you do in my shoes" advice from the more experienced guys. again, sorry for asking the question that's been asked so many times before.
