I installed a RE 5.5 lift on my 1990 XJ. The Lift is installed except for the last braces and the transfer case drop kit... Should I install the drop kit? The jeep runs fine now. no vibes... Do need to install the drop kit?
Im pretty sure it is... It is off my old XJ that had the same rear lift on it (RE 4.5 SPrings with 1.5" Shackle)..and that rear drive shaft was mesured and made for it... ( I needed a new one after trying to grind a rock down on Holcom rock garden with the drive shaft -- it wasnt pretty)...

But did your old one have the same transmission ( auto to manual are 1" difference in length ) and also the rear axle as the 8.25 is longer in the pinion than a D35?

Reason I'm asking is because it looks like a lot of the splines are showing and just to be on the safe side, you might want to check into it (as in find out what happens at full droop).
