I am buying a rough country 6.5" lift for my 91 xj. it comes with a transfer case drop and I want to know if I need a sye and a drive shaft? either or both?? and if I buy a cv driveshaft extender will I still need a sye?? Recommendations please!!!

 

If your wanting to do it right, then i would install the sye, and a new cv driveshaft, i use tom woods and like there work. I got my sye kit off of ebay for 160.00. Cheap!

 

i agree with bigin but i have been running a 6.5 for a year and a half with no issues with just a t case drop.

 

get an sye. there are more reasons to run one other than to get rid of vibrations

 

On my old 93, I ran 5" with a T/C drop and it was ok

On my 97, I'm running 5" lift, PORC SYE and a Front drive shaft as a rear drive shaft. Thus I only have to carry 1 spare shaft instead of a front and rear shaft. FIRC the tailcone on the newer body style XJ are longer so a SYE is better to do than a T/C drop. Plus the SYE was $170 and easy to do.

Food for thought

 

are you saying you are just using a transfer case drop?? no sye or srive shaft??

 

On my old 93, correct, thats what I ran and it was alright

but on my 97, I did the SYE with the lift so I dont know if i would of had problems with the lift w/o the SYE
