[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 431748, member: 19255"] Your welcome. If you didn't like the DL angle, it probably is lifted. Your's sounds like mine after I did a 2-1/2" spring lift, given your concern about DL length, I saw the same thing. I can't tell from the pic, but OEM springs are pretty much flat. Lift springs usually have angle shims between the the rear axle and the springs, OEM does not have them. If you still have the factory slip yoke, those need to be gone and the shaft probably needs to be lengthened. I kept the shims, did a Slip Yoke Eliminator (SYE) and a CV drive shaft to fix mine. If you want to go that way, now is the time while the t-case is out, but it will be about $700, most of that being the shaft. This is a very common problem with YJs' and that is the usual fix, if that's the problem. I'm not new to Jeeps, but I'm just used to very, very old ones. So the YJ platform IS new to me and I have to admit, mine has been a can of worms. [/QUOTE]
