1992 xj, 4.0l, aw4, np231, d35
installed a spacer/bastard pack 2" lift over the weekend. everything went great, and the ride is awesome.
When I enter steep driveway's though, I get a rotational thump-thump that is rythmic and eventually goes away.
Intermittant, suble, quiet sound.
I'm thinking possibly rear driveshaft ujoints, possibly slip yoke needing to be swapped for a longer unit.
I'd love to fix it with a tcase drop kit for $20.00, cuz I'm swapping in a 8.25 soon, and don't want to spend any money on d35 axle/driveshaft stuff.
here's an existing question and answer on the portal:

Anyone have any insight? I lubed my joints, and checked torque on my bolts. I've ruled out exhaust, and doubt its the front end, though I could be wrong.
noise is made mostly around 5-10mph, going straight, usually after getting on or off the throttle. Slip joint is only about 1/2 - 3/4 displaced from usual position..enough to cause some binding?
Or just old, dry ujoints?:explosion
thanks in advance..
