Hack N Tap is a cheaper alternative, from RE, to a proper SYE kit. It has you "hack" a couple of inches off of your OEM TC output shaft and then drill and "tap" a hole in the end of it to bolt on your new rear output yoke.
For $20 more check out Performance Off Center's website. You get an Advance Adaptors SYE kit with replacement HD output shaft. Anybody who has been a Gearhead for any amount of time knows that AA makes quality stuff.

hey brian did you all ready order your sye? If not you should look into the iro hackntap setup! heres a link http://ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2...egory_Code=XDT
this the setup up I am running on my xj and I have been really happy with it. I order the kit with the yoke,front refurbished drive line, and the drill and tap and it cost me right around 215 for everything. It got rid of all my vibes and let me get rid of my tc drop and has held up fine with all the abuse I have delt its way!
but back on topic you will be fine with that drive shaft!

I keep hearing about using the front ds in the rear but as a machinist I wouldn't trust that external/internal splining combined with the possible torque. Twisted/snapped shafts mean more is wrong. Hack and tap is a bad idea.
