I am new to this. i just got a 92 cherokee and i have heard that you can go up a certain about till you have to do SYE. Could i do a 4.5 and not have to worry about that problem?

 

every jeep is different when it comes to a sye. you could probly get away with just doing a t case drop kit.

 

Sorry to sound like a noob but what is a SYE?

 

slip yoke elimanater

 

Ok what does it do?

 

its for your drive line angle. when you lift short wheel base vehicles the drive line get all messed to thats and the SYE fixes that

 

who cares if you sound like a noob. everyone has got to learn somehow and this site is a great one to learn from there is alot of good knowledge around here. only dumb question is one not asked

 

The SYE goes on the rear output of the transfer case so that the slip yoke that is used from the factory is eliminated and replaced with a flange. The slip yoke is really not eliminated but rather becomes the middle section of the drive shaft. The new drive shaft has a double cardin joint on the tranny end and a regular u-joint on the pinion end.
If you need more info then post up questions and we will try to answer them.

 

yeah what he said haha. do you think i will have to do one for a 4.5 inch lift?

 

Depends. My brothers run 5" lifts and only one is a 94 the other is an 87, the 87 manual tranny doesn't need one, never had any issues out of it and they have put gumby to shame with flexing. The 94 was fine until it went to pull out my 92 and it was at a bad angle and the shaft popped out after a few good tugs... Course he's gunna do a T-case drop kit so that the angle is better to keep the drive shaft in. Thats if we don't blow these up and get other ones first of course...
