I just had my Jeep lifted 3 inches today...while driving home, i noticed that there was vibration between 30-40mph right under my seat.
i know that the driveshaft is now at a new angle, but would a lift of only 3 inches really affect the transfer case at all? or could it be a bad u-joint?
Any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Go to a JY. or upgrade. when it breaks. you upgrade. The code of the XJ world. lol. that or you can just go to Junkyard and pull some leafs from a s10. or bronco maybe. bronco s will be VERY stiff. very unforgiving.
