Jeep CJ7 Lift Questions

Okay, so I'm trying to get a little bit of advice before I start trying to install a 4" BDS suspension lift on my 86' CJ-7. First of all, it has a dana 30 front, dana 44 rear 2.73 gear ratio (getting that changed to 4.10), dana 300 TC.

I want to make sure that the driveline is angled properly, but am not too sure about how to accomplish this. I know that I can order a tom woods cv driveshaft, and will probably need to have the spring plates re-positioned on the axle tubes.

Will I need to get a SYE like i did on my Jeep TJ? What is the procedure for lining up the pinion angle / re-positioning the spring plates? I'm sure this stuff is covered somewhere on this site. Anyone know of any good threads that have a detailed install? Thanks in advance for your input!

You should probably post this question in the CJ Forum since most people in the build forum don't have CJs. Are you installing a drop transfer case kit? If so you shouldn't have to mess with the castor angle or install a SYE kit. I haven't had to do either on my 83 and haven't had and vibrations. If you dont have the drop kit I would put the tom woods cv on to be safe.
