Okay ordered The OME 3 inch lift kit and OME steering stabilizer and 1 inch transfercase drop from Jason over at Jeepin Outfitters.

First off here are my specs.
2000 Cherokee Sport 4x4
nP321 TC
Chrysler 8.25 rear end
Will have 31s on it

Okay with this said what degree shim is recomended becuase I thought the TC drop would be enough but the more I read I think I may be needing this aswell or am I wrong?

Getting SYE for XMAS tho so should I just wait for that or will the Grinding and what not hurt my driveline parts?

Thank you
Jack

You might be able to squeeze by with just the tcase drop. I have basically the same set up, and I only have a tcase drop.

I need about 2* shims, guesstimation. Put in the drop, and if you need it, get ome shims. Otherwise, dont worry about it.

I have the same lift on my 99 w/ a t-case drop and RE 4* shims. Works good for me. No noticeable vibes or binding anymore.
