Lift kit vibes are excessive wear on the t-case bearings. 2000-01 are more prove to drive line vibes than earlier models years. A t-case drop may reduce the vibes, but it also increases the front drive-line angles, and the strain on the motor mounts. An SYE is the solution.

I put a 3 inch rough country lift kit on my 95 XJ Ran it like that for years. No issues ever came of it. Just make sure your rear driveshaft is in good shape as in greased up and balanced.

1997 - 2001 have a different rear output shaft on the transfer case making an SYE more necessary than the older models.

One of the guys in my local 4x4 club thought he didn't need an SYE on his 1999, then one day he did need an SYE .......

YMMV.

I had an interceptor XJ with the 120 mph speedometer. It would do all of that on 285/70/17s and a 4" lift and a 4.0 motor. I guess you need to check all the stuff that goes round and round.

No transfer spacers on that rig either, just my bastard pack homemade lift kit and free shocks from a 4x4 junk pile. All free lift. I built the add a leafsout of Tacoma spring parts.. I only bought the rear hangers for $40.

Thanks for the input. I think this is the cause of the noises I have been hearing that I put in previous post.

You can always look into a hack and tap slip yolk eliminator. Very easy install
