In my view, a TC drop make the back alignment better but the front worse. Unless you have vacuum disconnects your front is still spinning all the time. Maybe it doesn't matter but in my mind it doesn't make sense. Not to mention you lose an inch of ground clearance and possibly a TC skid might not work with it.
I have a tiny vibration only rarely and can live with it for now but still plan to do the front drive-shaft swap and SYE.

I wouldn't but that's just my opinion. I prefer do things right the first time.

I'm also concerned with the fixed LCA and no mention of new uppers. That means no adjustment at all. My buddy has an older RE kit with no adjustment and now it's becoming an issue. That's one reason he was looking for a long arm kit.

Stock UCA's are good until about 5 or 6" of lift. They will work, but replacing them is recommended.

Your stock LCA mounts have a bit of adjustment to them.
And stock UCA's are weak as hell. Never realized it until i had one of mine off.

I was thinking with adjustable uppers and the stock shim lowers there are more options. With just lowers there are some things that are not possible. Re: my question about the different wheelbase on each side might be difficult to remove without both. But then I'm not sure about that.
