6 inch superlift- Transfer case drop needed

I'm putting on a 6 inch superlift next week, I'm getting the carrier bearing drop kit, but do I need to drop my transfer case as well?

I used mine and also used the carrier bearing drop. No vibration at all. Rides great with the bilstiens.

I was reading the superlift site, and they said the tranny drop for the autos was included in the package? Is this true? I know the carrier bearing is separate.....

I didn't get the bilstiens... I'm saving for remote res. shocks

I bought some Hankook Dynapro MT in a 325X65X18..... they ride awesome, no noise at all. The only problem, they look like they are skinnier than the nitto 325X60s I had on the truck....
Does anyone have any experience with these tires? Longevity....????

My kit did not come with the drop bracket, according to BDS, some trucks need it some don't. I had a horrible vibration at 70, so I ordered and installed it. Bam! vibration gone. But then I had driveline shudder. So I used washers to drop the carrier bearing 3 inches. The shudder is almost gone and barely noticable.

What are you going to do with your stock coil springs?

I got my lift second hand but unused. It did not come with the carrier bearing drop bracket so I cut a piece of 2x2 in. square tubing to the width of the mount and drilled the all the mounting holes.
