OK. I'm running 2.5" higher in my cherokee these days and pick up some minor vibes, 30-38 MPH.
I can
A: Go SYE and spend a ton of money, get a new driveshaft too
B: Go Tcase drop either with washers under the crossmember bolts, a kit, or a Rusty's crossmember.
C: Shim the axle
Cross "A" off the list cause I'm cheap.
With option B, any thoughts / experience as to which is best? I"m thinking new bolts / replacing the studs with longer bolts and stacking 1/2 inch worth of washers to drop the cross member should do it, but will that change the pinion angles enough?
With option C - how many degrees of shim do I need? would 3* do it at 2.5" in the rear? I know there is math involved in this and I'm OK with math but don't have an angle finder of any sort...
Thanks for the help on this, folks - I'm trying to do this whole thing "right" and so far has been a great resource!
