A little backstory for y'all...
I have a 2003 Jeep TJ 4.0 Manual RHD.
I bought this TJ online through a dealer and it was shipped to where I am currently. I have never owned a Jeep before, nor a lifted vehicle. It has been brought to my attention that the lift was installed very incorrectly. I was having an issue where after 3000 RPM in 1st gear, after the clutch is engaged, it feels like the transmission hops. I was thinking maybe my transmission mount is bad, the engine mounts, or a conjunction of the three. Well, the mounts are in good condition, it is just where the mounts have been moved to. Foreshadowing...
I'll start from the front and work my way back.
The front portion of the lift looks okay, the front differential measures at 5 degrees.

The engine is slanted downwards 9 degrees. The engine mounts have been upgraded, however they were lifted up by welding supports underneath them. I believe they did this because they couldn't figure out how to correctly install the lift.

The rear axle is a complete hack job. The rear differential is at 18 degrees.

The exhaust is rubbing the rear spring.

I believe this hop or bounce I get from the transmission is due to my driveline binding up under load and when the clutch is engaged, it releases.
I am just looking for advice on what you all would do with a Jeep in this state. Everything else is solid, except for the infamous blower motor issue... If I am completely wrong about this, then please correct me.
Thanks for your time and help!
