Re: Some questions - '01 TJ
I thought you might have had a CV driveshaft which needs to have the
rear pinion angle changed. WIth the stock driveshaft, the rear pinion
angle must remain parallel to the transfer case output shaft as it is
now. For 2.5" of lift and your 1" engine mount lift, if you're still
getiting vibes, I would just drop the transfer case skidplate maybe a
half-inch or so. If money is not an issue, installing a SYE kit into
your transfer case and a longer CV driveshaft is the best solution to
eliminate vibrations which would eliminate the need for the taller
engine mounts and/or transfer case drop.
RE does make very good upper control arms which would be useful for
correcting the rear pinion angle if you installed the SYE kit and CV
driveshaft.
So far as RE's adjustable trackbars, they are extremely popular and
extremely heavy-duty. I have them front and rear and am pleased with them.

Re: Some questions - '01 TJ
Would your design work on RHD Wrangler. We drive on the left of the road

Well, money is an issue but breakage can be dangerous, especially on highway
speeds. What do you think about hack'n tap Rubicon Express kit? I know its
a temporary solution, but when the time comes for beefing up my transfer
case, I might trade up to an Atlas unit. I like the taller mounts because I
have a body lift and also taller mounts have taken my oil pan away from
harm's way.

Something I didn't realise earlier was the difference in designs for a RHD
Wrangler. Apparently an Australia company is now making components for
Rubicon Express for RHD versions of their trackbars. I might import them
from Australia (cheaper freight due to being closer to us).
Thanks for all you help.
