Default another sye question.

jeep has 8.5 lift in the rear. I need to get the sye kit. but for now will it be fine if i just change the rear pinion angle to match the dshaft angle and drive it around town like that. or is even speed bumps to much movement for it?

i wouldnt drive it like that......i lifted one of my comanche's to 9'' and tried driving it like that and the driveshaft ended coming out from the tcase when i hit a bump on a busy road....d shaft dug into the ground and sent the rear of my truck into the air sideways.........ended up having to do a sye anyways...but cost more cause the yoke on my rear end was also ripped off.

just park it til you do the sye.......
