I have helped folks put the spacer lifts in and they had no issues. If
you do have an issue, it only takes a couple washers to make a spacer
for lowering the t-case slightly.

Just to clarify, the spacers have nothing to do with creating driveline
anymore than putting in 2" lift springs. The vibes come from changing
the driveline geometry. Again, it is very unlikely that 2" will cause
vibes. If you are in the rare 5% that do, a simple transfercase lowering
kit will bring you back to normal.

Patrick,

I have an 02, i put in the Skyjacker 2 inch spacer kit and i ran into the
vibe problem around 35 -40 MPH.

I then put in the spacer kit and the vibe went away.

I have talked to people on both sides. For some reason some people have a
problem and some don't.

The nice thing about the 2 inch kit was I was able to do it myself in my
driveway with basic tools and a jack.

Hope i helped.

Thanks for the replies. I think I will go ahead and do the coil
spacers, and just install the t-case spacers as well. They are cheap
and easy.
