I am looking at a Rough Country 3" kit or a rusty's 3" kit for my XJ. Will I need a Transfer Case drop and an SYE for only 3"?

One or the other, but not both. I'd try the TC drop first, and if you still have vibes, go with an SYE. If money isn't an issue, just go straight for the SYE.

I run neither, with 5.5", but each jeep is different. Had Tcase drop, but when I did my own long arms, and a tomken crossmember, I pulled um out, and just left it, to see how it drove. No problems, no vibes. It's weird.

I ran a 3" on my first XJ with niether and did just fine. I eventually made my own TC drop with 1" square tubing, drove the same. I would say put the lift kit on and then drive it, you may not need it. I wouldn't worry about an SYE until you go bigger.
