Different track bar and shocks to start with and possibly brake lines as well

Probably a drop pitman arm, and a sad novel to stop you from smiling all the time. ;)

Haha I have a drop pitman arm its 3.5 inch drop. But thank you for the imput. I was planning on shocks. What would a new driveshaft for the split yoke eliminator kit cost? Roughly.

You can do a hack and tap for under $200 and use a front drive shaft. Or you can go with Tom Woods and it will be about $450 after core is sent in.

You can do the SYE anytime, well I think you can. I guess the drive shaft could be too long for a SYE on a stock lift. Hmmmm

I personally did not want a hack and tap. The Tom Woods solution you replace the main shaft in the transfer case. It's shorter and done professionally. My 98 is my daily driver, so I felt it was worth the additional cost and work.

Yeah I hear ya I have 3.5 inch lift now and the driveshaft says its for 4.5-6 inches of lift so it mite be too long.
