okay, fixed this problem, now need new rear drive shaft, the one i have is too short and still have sever wobbling in rear wheels and wondering if changing out rear drive shaft will help that problem. beginning to wonder if Rubicon Express 4.5" lift was a good choice.

I haven't had any problems with my RE lift. But I wouldn't use the TC drop if you are going to get new shafts built.
I didn't even try to reuse the stock shafts.

What do you mean by sever wobbling in the rear wheels? I've only had that problem when I broke the stock 2 peice axles.

What are you working on here? CJ5 or a CJ7 ?
When you get a new drive shaft go with a CV this will help. You will also have to shim the rear axle to correct the pinion angle. You can either shim the rear, or cut the perches off and reweld them into the right position.

Your rear tires are wobbling? That has nothing to do with a driveshaft or a lift kit. Have you checked the lug nuts? Have you checked if the U-bolts are tight?
