I am contemplating getting a SYE and CV DS with a little bit of money I just fell into, could somebody tell me the benefits of replacing the stock parts with Tom Wood's? I've heard it's a good thing to do, but other than that am clueless.

Thanks.

 

if you go to much over 4" you will need a different driveshaft other than that you do need one.

 

its a good investment but im in almost the same pradicament i need one and ya you wont ever have a nother prob with the drive line again iv seen it done and wheeled w people that did it thay live by it but i cant find a good deal on one

 

well the benefit is you get a much larger rear main shaft that has like 50% better torque capacity then stock. plus the drive shaft is a cv joint that will give a much better angle then the stock one and eliminate vibration's

 

If its major off roading tom woods otherwise stock front XJ D/S FTW.

 

Well you could even need it at 4" or not at all at 6.5" but if you are going to do a SYE with a NEW drive shaft Tom Woods makes one of the best products out there. There are other options that are just as good for street and mild offroading but Woods stuff you can do just about anything and not worry about it and they do custom stuff for really big lifts.

 

it's not necessary to get the sye from tom woods, but they dont make a great ds. i've been very pleased with mine. the only bad thing i can say about them is that a buddy of mine realized his rear ds he bought from them was missing a zerk fitting, not like it had been sheered off, but it was never there. and they said they wouldnt replace it for free, he would have to pay to send it back and have it rebuilt, kinda unimpressive i think

 

i got all tom woods stuff when i ordered my lift from RC but i havent had them installed yet, i think im gonna have a local shop do it so they can take the t-case apart and clean it and check it out

 

Nice name there man.

 

funny thing is this was the first one i picked if you can believe that. and i thought the same thing when i saw yours
