Okay, after reading your PM.

The Tcase spacer is designed to mitigate the vibes. Try it. You won't go wrong by using it.

Remember to retighten all the bolts after a break in period of driving around. You may find that you forgot to tighten one.

BTW, I'm moving this to the ZJ tech section.

The drop bracket isnt the greatest, but you should be fine with it out back, most of the time the only reason have problems with the drop brackets is due to them dropping down the trackbar and not the draglink or vice versa which creates bump steer. Since theres no drag link in back your good to go.

I would try running it without the tcase drop before putting it in, you dont need to have everything apart to do it so to take it for a test run - find you have vibes - then take it back and put it in isnt a big deal.

If you go to Tremont, PA you'll find that you're not the highest ZJ around

I'm from CT - I just wheel down there

Use PB blaster on any bolts/nuts will make your life a bit easier.
