Only the suspension lift affects the driveshaft angles. For YJs, 3.5
or 4 inches of lift is where problems start. You seem to be just
under the limit with your lift (3 inches). If you donīt lift it any
more you will not have any problems (same as now).

If the problem with vibration for Ujoint angle developes it will more
likely happen after you install the 33's (or larger) tires because to
things will happen, first more drive line torque will be required to
turn the wheels and the bigger radius of the tires will increase the
counter torque twist load on axle in springs cause a pontenail change
in drive angle. Time will tell.

Hi Aaron,
Did you also switch to a Dana 44 or stronger rear axle? If not be sure
and carry a camera with you so you may add your broken Dana 35c pictures to
my page at: http://www.----------.com/dana35c/
Thanks for your service, you're a real American, hero!
God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O

Re: Suggestions on going to 33s?
Aaron,
Looks like you've got the information you need. Did you get a drop
pitman arm with your kit? You may need one to correct bumpsteer. You can get
a 1" transfer case drop if you get vibes if you are on a budget and cannot
afford the SYE for a while.
I can't belive I'm the first one in this thread to say it, but THANK YOU for
your service!
