Ok I fitted a 2"BB lift yesterday and everything went well, the Jeep drived fine home and this morning, but after moving it around on a 3 point turn on a slope I've now developed a shudder on take off ? Could this be down to the lift ? Or is it more pausable that I have a doddgy transmission mount, I'm getting a little bit of movement from the tansfer box when pushing the rear drive shafts left and right but not crazy amounts, or should I be looking at dropping the TC skid plate anot inch? just to note I am also getting a slight vibration in low gears attached low speeds...
 
Is it a manual transmission? Because when I hear "shudder" I think of a shuddering / chattering clutch.

I would however go through and check your work, making sure all the bolts are torqued to spec and everything. If it only started doing this immediately after the lift install (and not before), then it seems plausible they are related.
 
Checked everything that I touched and all was good, it is a manual, and I thought the same, but if you pull away gently (but not slipping the clutch) it pulls of fine, altough the slight vibrations are there everything
 
So the trans mount is good? Everything tight? You lifted the Jeep, it is entirely possible to develop driveline vibrations with a 2" BB. I would lean toward the trans mount. To really check it out you should drop the skid. Mine was cracked nearly in half but you couldn't tell by just shoving the driveshafts around.

Dose lifting the truck put pressure on the transmission mount ? I thinknow I'm going to go ahead and drop the skid plate to see if that solves my slight vibration's and then if it's still shuddering then replace the mount
