For a belly up skid you are going to want a 1" body lift and a 1" motor mount lift.  There is not enough room in a YJ to go with a belly up skid without some cutting out of the floor.  Also, YJ's have the worst design ever for the exhaust.  Before getting an engine skid, you need to fix the exhaust so it wraps around the front of the oil pan like a TJ.  A YJ goes under the transmission and an engine skid will drop way down and you will sacrifice a lot of clearnace.  I made a custom pipe using a TJ head pipe as a starting point and a lot of cutting and welding.  If I had to do it agian, I would find a good exhaust shop and have them make one.  By the way, with the 1" motor mount lift, you will be surprised how much less you need a engine skid.  I wheel my Jeep pretty hard, and I don't have an engine skid yet.  I went with the Kilby belly up skid, and did away with the mid transmission mount.  I used all polly bushings and I have had no problems.  Also, make sure you install all of this and the SYE before ordering your drive shaft since it will change the lenght of the rear driveshaft by over an inch.  I went to overland driveshaft (in Montville) and bought a new lower half to make the driveshaft longer, but it was another $80 expense I could have avoided.  Good Luck and Looking forward to meeting you when I get back.
