Just so you know, if you call Andy at IronMan4x4 and sweet talk him, he might make a bracket for you for a little more $.

Alright, got my SYE and xj front shaft ready to go... All I need now is some advice. Would you guys recommend doing the install with the tc still in the jeep? Or should I completely remove the tc?

Its so easy to do it just doesnt make a whole lotta sense to pull the tcase out but its not a big deal to remove it if youd prefer to do the install on the bench instead.

Looking for some opinions on RE super ride 3.5" lift vs their super flex, is it worth the extra money? The jeep will be mostly on the street but with a good amount of sand, trail, and mud time logged.

go with super ride/w full leaf packs... you'll end up roughly 4 and settle to 3-3.5
