There is no slip yoke to eliminate on a CJ.
I'm with you on the CV joint drive shaft, but there is no slip yoke on a
D300 tcase.

That's correct, the driveshaft has the slip yoke.
The shackle is 1" longer giving the 1/2" lift.
I run with a load mostly now on the highway going camping instead of
local day trips and that seems to help them last longer by lowering the
rear a bit. It isn't too much off.
