Well I had a 92 Yj with 4" of lift. It had 3.5" springs and another 1/2" via longer shackles. With the TC drop and shims the driveshaft angle was perfectly acceptable and I had zero driveline vibration.

In other words, it wasn't temporary by any means.

Now I will agree that a SYE is well worth it. It makes for a much stronger output from the TC case, and you can keep the skidplate up where it belongs, keeping the 1" clearance you'd lose with a TC drop. It's just an overall better and stronger setup.

BUT

While it is better, and stronger, it isn't always needed at 4" of lift. All I am telling him is if he is concerned with keeping a budget through lifting the Jeep, then he should wait and see if the expense is necessary.
