What is the least lift I could fit 32s or 33s with? I am leaning toward a Rubicon Express also not interested in trimming allot. Haven't really researched rims would also like suggestions on that. If i go with a 4.5 will a transfer case drop of 1" help with vibrations. 2001 XJ Sport

My stock jeep needed a transfer case swap. I have plans to lift it and I installed a TC that already had an SYE in it that I got for cheap. Now I need to shim the rear axle before I can drive the jeep too much. Can I just quickly install them without installing new center pins and what not? Just quickly unbolt the u bolts, place the shims, rebolt? (It's cold as hell outside)
This would only be temporary. About 4 months and less than 4k miles.

Id be very unhappy if I were the guy behind you that gets a shim through the radiator/windshield/face.
Center pins are decently cheap. Most auto parts stores will have em.

Nah you'll need new center pins. There's a hole in the shim that should be identical to the hole in each leaf. The head of the center bolt should be larger, and therefore not fit in the hole. The results would be catastrophic if you just sandwhiched it in there. Id be very unhappy if I were the guy behind you that gets a shim through the radiator/windshield/face.
