I'm looking to buy a Slipyoke and CV for my 97 XJ. I want to buy this prior to getting the lift so when I decide what lift I want to get, I already have the SYE. Does this sound like a good deal and has anyone ever heard of this brand? I'm new to this so I hope someone can give me good advice. Thanks everyone!

That shaft isn't made to use with a SYE. It is just like the factory but with a dual cardon joint (aka CV) and a longer slip yoke for the t-case. For that price I could have a custom shaft made at a local driveline shop.

 

with a little research you might find that you can buy parts to make a home brew SYE and use a stock front driveshaft. Could end up being a lot cheaper in the long run. And if your lift is 3.5 or under I'd wait until after the lift cause you might not need it at all.

 

I was going to cheap out and do the hack and tap oneday soon.. whats best drive shaft to use for sye and hack and tap ? jeep front shaft ? or is there other options ? What shaft can i go to pick and pull and bolt right in ?

after some searching... 95 grand cherokee ?

 

From what I've read you need a "special" output yoke to use the front driveshaft- the hack and tap just gives you a flange, which the driveshaft won't bolt to. Try a google for go-jeep's website and look up SYE. He's got a pretty thorogh write up there.

 

You can use a stock Toyota flange on most hack and taps that attaches to a stock front shaft but you will prob have to shorten it.

 

nice thanks! Ill def look in to the home made SYE!

 

I have the 242 transfer case. I installed a SYE kit from IRO. cost me $200. Look at my threads have aloy of pictures on the breakdown of the trafer case and rebiuld. Hope it helps.

 

i am looking around their site and i dont see a SYE, HELP! lol
