Why not jump the dead car with another car and see if it will start? disconnect the battery and see if it keeps going. Or try jumping the starter directly to see if its good to go. Just cause you replaced something a month ago nowadays doesnt mean it cant be bad. Lifetime warranty's dont mean quality, it means your probably going to have to use the lifetime warranty your whole life and often. Process of elimination time.

Just in case. If it came with it go ahead and install it. Can't hurt.

How would half an inch do as far as driveline vibes? I'm on board with installing it but a half inch seems slightly pointless

you shouldnt get vibes from .5" but youll be sorry you didnt go a lil higher. Go with a budget boost. Zj upcountry springs and a spacer and s10 bastard pack or xj leafs from jy. Even with that you should get any vibes

no need to install it. 1.5" won't give you vibes.

I'm not the OP im just wondering why you would only drop the tcase 1/2" I have a 3" RC on mine and I get vibes from 58 - 66 would the tcase drop fix this? I'm not really annoyed by it but can the vibes cause damage to anything else?

there are a couple of things that cause vibes after a lift. It also depends on the differentials that you have. A tc drop can help eliminate most driveline vibe cause itll line up the shaft at a more proper angle. Some ppl though complain that they still have slight vibes afterwards

Alright thanks, I think I'll just leave it. The vibes don't bother me and it's not DW just vibes

most of the time vibes are caused simply by people not shimming the rear axle pinion angle correctly after a lift
