Are you sure that 2" shackles are gonna net you 2" of lift?

And please enlighten us on how you are going from 3 inches to 5.5 inches...

And did you think about driveline vibes without installing a SYE? Your rear drive shaft will be at an even worse angle. I know you have the alxe shims in there but they only help so much. I know some rigs don't need the SYE, but from what I have heard, you will be eating up u-joints or worse like blowing your TC.

Just things to think about. Plus at the rate you are going your rig will be more then your driving style is ready for (again NOT attacking you) and you will end up breaking things left and right like some one else we know on here...

I'm Between 8-9" Lift in the rear on mine plus the Axle Is moved back 1" To clear the front of the wheel well for the 35"s. All I have is the 1" T-case drop and the axle was rotated when I did my 8.8. I don't run a SYE, Still have plenty of yoke in the T-case and no drive line vibes.

AFAIK, the TC drop temporarily replaces the SYE to cure the vibes. This puts added stress on the drive line, from what I understand, though. Also, the year of the TC seems to make a difference from what I've read.

Yes but like I said "I know some rigs don't need it..." Jeepdog sometimes acts before he thinks. Not to be mean but he does.

It was Paul that said he had 8-9 inches of lift. Paul was the one who made it up the "Bad" part of twister at ROM in our group. Really tall Grey XJ?
