I'm lookin at either a 5.5 or 6.5 in LA kit and im stuck on the cheaper hack and tap with a refurb drive shaft or the legit SYE and a custom drive shaft. I dont really know the ups and downs against the 2 except for price. Anyone got advice?

 

what tcase do you have? if you have a 242 h/t is your only option.

 

I have a 2000 so I dont think its that one

 

What does the shift pattern look like? Like this?

id go with the full but H/t is realy cheap for you though because you dont have to worry seal flange. Go with what you can afford. I havent heard of to many people breaking the h/t.

 

Yes thats the pattern

 

Then you've got a 231.

 

I mean is there any real down falls of a hack and tap set up

 

its weaker and allows for human error. human error on spinning stuff isnt usually a good thing
