Default SYE ???

Hey guys did a search but could not find any info on this SYE. It is by Adams Driveshaft. Check it out and let me know. I am leaning towards the Iron Rock SYE.

That is NOT a SYE that is a slip-yoke driveshaft with a double cardin joint. NOT the same thing will not work as well. SYE stand for Slip Yoke ELIMINATOR, see the slip yoke is the main weakness of the drive shaft. The double cardin joint will help with vibes, but is most affective when mounted to a FIXED yoke.

Thanks, I thought it might just be an alternative to the hack and tap, which is what I will be doing since I have a 241 transfer case. Thanks, Phil

Doesnt a slip yoke, allow for more suspension articulation as well?
