I am looking into getting a new lift by summer and i seen that i can add SYE and Driveshaft from rough country a know the drive shaft is a tom woods shaft but dont know about the SYE anyone got any input?

second i wanted input on my new lift set up i was thinking 4.5" rough country new SYE and driveshaft plus i was gonna get new rubicon express shackles with extra 1" lift plus 1" coils spacers in front think this is a good set up

It's rough country, I think. They do have their own so I'd assume so. Sounds like a good plan on the lift! What size tires are you gonna run?

I will tell you rough country's 4.5" leaf packs seek short. Everybody I talk to whobhas them says the same thing. It takes some time for them to settle down and my stock shackles are almost back to verticle. Instead of doing linger shackles id recommend relocation brackets. I think you'll get better shackle angle and ride that way.

Relocation brackets to replace my shackles you mean and i was gonna run the tires i have now till i might get 33's hopefully with minor trimming but my current leafs are sagging pretty bad and i was looking into this for a while cause i want to get it all right

Red82

Yeah you'll still get an extra inch or two with them. And they're a pretty simple install.

where can i get them and do i still buy the 1 inch shackles with them

This is what my final cart will look like i hope hoping for about 5 to 5.5" inches total lift with some good articulation

i would like to hear input from everybody

You can get then from rough country. You could still add longer shackles to it. That'll just add that much more lift to your rig.

That link goes to the shopping cart which is dependent on your computse so I cant see what you put in your cart. Just make sure you get full leaf packs if you already have sag in your rear springs. Id also make sure and get new beak hoses (soft lines). I know RC usually has relocation brackets but you'll really need brake lines to really hit the trails.

Call my boy Ryan @1-800-222-7023 ext 123 tell him MuscleHead sent you. All the pics of xjs on the rough country were all his at one time. Hes the man in the know about RC kits and xjs

Check around here for threads cheap shackles. Advanced auto and autozone has longer shackles for like 30/35 bucks.

Oh and check with the forum Rep in the vendor section Grimmus. He can hook you io with 10% off. Order through him not online.

If i was getting shackles i'd get some Rocky Road shackles. Slammed mine on a rock and only scratched the paint. Plus they're made from 3/8 steel. http://www.rocky-road.com/xjshackle.html

Just a thought. And I personally would be scared to run the shackles they sell at autozone and advance and such. wayyy too weak looking to me

XJRaider

they do look beef but i am having tough time deciding whether to get shackle relocation bracts and shackles with no lift or just shackles with 1.5" lift
