Re: What's the difference between a 4" Lift and a 2 1/2" lift with 1 1/2" Shackles?
 
1" should be all you need. You will probably want to get the transfer case
shifter pivot bracket kit (I think quadratec has them). You will probably
need a SYE, also. The belly up kit increases your drive line angle
considerably. The 1" taller motor mounts might not hurt, too. While you're
at it, get a Kilby gas tank skid plate and raise your gas tank up a bit,
too. :-)

(You can't change "one thing".)

(I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.)

Too true, always a work in progress. I am also going with a 1" coil spacers
for now then later I will get a 3" lift kit for a total of 5" of lift :)

BTW I saw a SYE on RubiconExpress.com that taped into the origional output
shaft of the transfer case.

Is that strong enough for easy to moderate crawling or is it much more
recomended to get the HD version that also reduces the driveline angle??
