looking at a jeep with the 242 tcase


I want to do a 3 inch lift to it, from iron rock offroad


Ive used their 3 inch lift before and it was great, but that was with the 231 t case




the jeep is a 99, adding a 3inch lift, will I have vibrations with it?


reading thru old post in this forum, Ive seen where someone said 3 inch lift or less you wont need anything, 4" or more you will need it


let me know if I can get by with a 3" lift on a 242 without any issues

 

My 2000 xj with 4.5" has the 242 t case.
No sye needed.

 

My 3" zone lifted 1996 with 242 tc had some vibrations. I put a tc drop on it.

 

I just did mine 3.5 inche lift on a 2000 xj and definitely needed it. You could really feel the slip yoke sliding in and out when I let off the gas.

Order the drilling rig. Do it slow. I just started a thread on my build ..... And how I broke the tap off inside the output shaft.

 

well from those 2 post, it really must be "jeep to jeep" differences


my 91 with a 3" didn't need anything


my last 99 with a 4" needed a drop to help, sold it before I could figure it out




good thing iron rock offroad just came out with a 242HD sye kit


its under grand Cherokee section, would it work on a xj with the 242?

No idea. Doesn't look like it would work on the output shaft.... But I'm new to this stuff.

 

Believe the 242hd has a different spline count. Not sure though..
Google will tell ya..
