Basically your oldermodels say 95 an older you have a great chance of not needing one even up to 4.5".. Anything 96 and newer you will most likely have to have either and SYE or tc-drop once you hit 2" or more. My 91 sits at 4.5" and needs an SYE or tc-drop. So it's never a guarantee and only way to know is install the lift and see. Sometimes you can get away with adding degree shims to the rear axle.

Sorry, I'm still a little thick skulled this morning. Why is 96 the breakpoint? I thought it was pretty identical to a 95 (except OBDII) and that 97 was the year that brought on changes. I'm working on my mod budget for this year and a SYE will throw a wrench in things Either way, I would try the lift without it first to see what happens...
