The only thing that worries me is if I were to remove the t-case drop, I'd have to battle with those stupid tack-welded nuts inside the frame rail. I already broke one off when I did the t-case drop and had a hell of a time getting it to tighten down. Lucky I even did at all... I mean, if it's not going to cause issues with using in conjunction with my SYE, I'm just going to leave it. I just want to make sure it's not going to cause issues before I decide whether or not to remove it.

You can look online and find them. However, I will say that if you're going to replace the axle shafts anyway, using the 2 piece setup is generally stronger when using '95+ shafts and u-joints. Those are stronger. But if you're not doing a lot of wheeling and not pushing huge tires, then you're good. But I'd try online.
