A simple height comparison for those who wonder if 4" actually makes a difference.

Hey man. Nice '87! Dont waste your money on disconnects, I took my sway bar and trac bars off, and I think it drives better. Come check out my '87!

Well all i can really tell u is, My friend Jim witch runs JIM'S OFF ROAD told me at first to go with bds 3.5 lift and to put 2in heavy duty shakels on and this would be fine. That would give u 5.5. So to play it safe i went with 3.0 ROUGHT COUNTRY lift and the 2in heavy dusty shakels and transfer lowering kit with extended brake lines. My friend is running the same setup but has a 4.0 lift and to fix his drive line vib he put 2 washers on the last 2 bolts that hold up the transfer kit drop and for him he has no prob. O one more this is your going to do mostly 4x4ing then go with the slip yoke. Mine is for daily driving and some 4x4ing. Hope this helps.
