The tcase is mounted to the skid, so when you drop the skid, the tcase comes down with it. Reduces the angle, reduces driveline vibration. The reduced angle removes the need for a cv joint driveshaft, but it does it at the cost of losing ground clearance. If it is going to be an off-road rig, go with the SYE and the cv shaft. Stronger and increased clearance underneath. My .02, anyway.

Tranny skid drop will also require you to adjust the linkage on your transfer case. Any lift manufacturer will have them.
