I just got my XJ back from Big O. They fixed a few things, but won't mess with transmissions or x-cases. They said my rear driveshaft is slipping out of the transfer case and I need a drop for it, but I don't know how much lift the previous owner lifted the rear. They didn't put any kit on; they just threw on parts to lift it. The blocks in the rear look about 3 to 4 inches tall. How can I figure out how much of a transfer case drop I need? And SYE isn't an option as I've got to either rebuild or buy a used transfer case because the chain in mine is clanging around.

If I have a stock XJ with no lift and I found some nice TJ Rubicon wheels that are 16x8, what size tire should I get for no rubbing?
