how much of a lift can you go without having to extend the rear driveshaft?

 

almost six inches

 

I would say anything over a 5.5 inch lift you need to get a new drive shaft.

 

ok, I should still be good then. I'm going to replace the tailshaft seal and I was looking at the slip joint thinking there can't be much in the transfer case, I have about a 6" lift the transfer case is still in the stock location. I was thinking that may have caused the seal to fail.

 

Thats honestly pushing it. Why dont you AT LEAST have a TC drop on it?

Why havent you considered a SYE? Itll make life off the TC so much better. Is an easy install too.

 

Umm, you should definitely buy a SYE and new drive shaft to go with the SYE.

EDIT: Beat me to it!

 

Definately flirting with disaster buddy!

How much of the output shaft can you see before the DS starts?

 

A cheaper thing is to use the YJ slip yoke. It is a little longer.

 

Cool. Does it matter what year or anything? I just lifted and want something until i can afford a SYE.

 

What do you guys do with the 242tc? I already have an idea but want some other opinions.

 

This is waaayyy off subject but for whatever reason while im reading your listings i see a elephant as your picture on the left... until i actually look at it... jsut figured i would throw that in there... lol

 

I bought a SYE.

 

I was thinking of a double cardan from a front DS, cut a section of an inch or two off the rear DS, and get the stock yoke back in place.
Would cost me muuuch less than a sye for the 242.

 

LED ZEPPELIN man... that's the explosion of the Hindenburgh, i thought it was cool...

 

yeah i know! lol... just for some reason reading what you write and not looking at it looks like a dang elephant for some reason... lol... i dunno... maybe im just weird?

The blimp the inner left ear... the explosion the forehead... and the tower the snout... lol
