Transfer case drop with adjustable rear control arms?

[JD Hamm]

I just recently did a tc drop with the lift I installed. I still have some driveline vibrations and was wondering if I could use only adjustable upper and lower control arms in the rear with the tc drop. I know it is recommended to get a SYE and CV driveshaft with the control arms but until I have the ability to get that I was wondering if just adjustable control arms in the rear would work to get the correct pinion angles. Thanks.

Arms could help. So would a motor mount lift.

An MML would help, and the arms could help to some degree, though I don't know how much.

I'd personally just drop the transfer case more until you can afford to do it all at once with the arms and SYE / CV combo.

I have an LJ, and the transfer case drop worked for me, until I regeared. With, faster driveshaft speeds, I installed adjustable upper rear control arms with my transfer case drop. I haven't tried the adjustable control arms without the transfer case drop.

As long as you get a good set of control arms there is a fair chance you could adjust the axle to help eliminate vibes. If you can't get it perfectly adjusted you can always drop the transfer a bit more. Get the arms you want to end up with. No point getting 'until I get the lift' arms. Then when you get your lift and matching front arms just dial the axle back to go with the SYE. My advice is to spend once, cry once. That doesn't mean you have to buy the most expensive parts, just ones that are quality and will last. Recommend getting at least the upper arms double adjustable. You know you will be resetting them at least 2 or 3 times and the double adjustable will make your life much easier. Especially when you need to tweak them to get vibes under control.
