Hey all,
First drive to work today in my recently-acquired YJ. Ran more-or-less fine except for pretty heavy vibration that feels like the drive-shaft.
I was told by the PO that it sits on a 3.5" lift, but then he also thought it had 31" tires (actual 30"), and that it has AC (wrong). Bit of a brain-donor this guy. He only had the Jeep a couple of months, so I'm assuming at this point the suspension work was done by the previous previous owner.
Anyway, with a 3.5" lift and possibly no other remedial measures, could I get away with some taper shims on the rear axle and dropping the T/case to try and reduce/solve the vibration?
I don't have the budget to immediately start swapping axles, adding SYE, CV drive shafts etc.
