PO says it was made with a manual transmission that was shorter. Is Tom woods worth the extra money?

Pinion is now at 17 degrees, but driveshaft looks too long

OK so I have rotated the axle to straight with the driveshaft. The pinion angle has gone from 10 to 23 degrees meaning that I need to buy 13 degrees shims right?

The current plan is to put a 3 degree shim in backwards than put the slip yolk eliminator in.

I removed the shim and now the pinion is 10 degrees and driveshaft is 23 degrees. makes noise under braking now.

I believe that it already has a transfercase drop, as the skid plate has spacers. So you say to pull in 2 degree shims?

If the pinion is 6* factory would you recommend taking out these in theory 12* shims and running 1* of driveshaft slope. Or If I can find 2* shims and install them backwards to remove 2* of pinion and have 3* of driveshaft slope?

The leaf springs do have a shim from the lift. Also The Joop did have a SYE with a old Transferase made for a manual but PO told me that it had a vibration a 45 mph. I don't know if I can open both the transfer cases to swap input shafts to be able to use the old one with the auto trans.

what do you suggest? There are no added shims in the leaf springs from when the lift was replaced.

transfer case angle is 7* driveshaft 14* pinion 18* so driveshaft slope is 3* 4 inches of lift and boomerang shackles

This video was taken driving uphill (under load).

The Yj has a Cherokee engine, trans, and tcase. I have replace the driveshaft u-joints, the driver side engine mount, the passenger side has been inspected no excessive movement, and the transmission mount has inspected for separation. When I took the skidplate off to inspect the trans mount...
