You can drop it with some thick washer just enough to get rid of any vibes. I dropped mine 1" with a 5" lift and no vibes. Driveline angles are good too.

Well said.

Thank You for the ideas and tech knowledge, based on removing the fasteners on the x-member, I'll try some thick stainless fender washers and see what happens this weekend. Been spraying with PB Blaster, and hopefully I don;t need some heat to break the stud fasteners loose.

Regarding the rear new leaf pack, can I expect to see some " break in" or leveling. Tired out old leafs had a sag and now it seems I gained 3+ inches in the rear.

Quality leaf packs lift Jeeps within an inch of the advertised height and should settle about 1/2" over time. My stock leafs were 20 years old (150,000 miles) and measured exactly what they should. Same with the front coils. People assume mileage and age = sag. It doesn't. The shocks don't usually hold up as well.

p.s. How much did the 3" leafs lift it?

Well I didn't think to measure prior to the 3" install, but where would one measure from? Point to point reference....

Center of wheel to bottom of fender flare. 17.5" front and 17" rear is stock.

20" front & 21" rear.

I installed an SYE and replaced a bunch of bearings in my NP231, and yesterday, got it 90% reinstalled in the XJ. My transmission mount was also thrashed, so I put a polyurethane one in. Because of the lack of flexibility, which is what I want, it's making getting everything difficult to line up. This was after blowing a U-Joint because my slip yoke seized up out in the middle of nowhere. The good thing about wrecking a U-Joint because of a slip yoke that won't slide in and out is that you can knock the other U-Joint out of your driveshaft and pull yourself home on your front axle.

I also have a new yoke for the rear pinion that uses u-bolts instead of straps from Iron Rock Offroad that I'm going to throw in, and I need to get that all together so that I can get measurements for a new driveshaft and shims to get the angles right. I have a new CV centering yoke on the way so I can rebuild whatever driveshaft I'm going to use.

Are you backwards on your top/bottom?

OK, installed the RC 1" TC drop pucks and bolts. PB Blasted a couple days ago, PS insert came our doing the jam nut trick, DS fought too hard for the jam nuts and lost it's battle to the pipe wrench.

I would say that the vibe's are virtually gone....now new tires.

Ha! It's side by side on mine! 32s on the left for me.

2.5" front and 4" rear. Did you have to use a longer rear brake hose? I bought a YJ hose that was about 4" longer. My stock hose pulled loose before I got home.

I needed to extend the rear bump stops. I couldn't find any online long enough, so I need to figure out how to mount something at the bottom to get 2" more. I'm not sure if mine really needed to be replaced. They didn't look all that bad..... I was surprised that the frame didn't have any rust on it.
