Noah,

Mine is a CJ, but....

I have a 4" suspension lift and a 2' body lift. I run 35" BFG M-T tires. 4.56 gears and lockers both ends. I agree that dropping the t-case defeats the purpose (and can give front driveline problems). So when I got a little rear driveline vibration after changing from my old 2" suspension lift to the new 4" suspension lift, I just had a CV joint installed on the front end of my rear driveshaft. That stopped the vibration.

BTW, the main cure for high-centering on axles is bigger tires. If you're scraping the spring U-bolts and bending them, install a set of Tomken Machine U-bolt skid plates -- I've got them all around and they work great. Don't forget to trim off any extra length on the bolts after you install the plates.
