SYE = Slip Yolk Eliminator... very good idea if you're going to be lifting it

thank u very much if i only lift my baby 2in. 2 1/2in or 3 in will i need it ??? does bastard packs or new kits make any diffrence if needed?

you shouldnt need one with that small of a lift my friend.

I'm not sure you'll need it... but it's definately beneficial if you're gonna be offroading... say you break a universal joint in your rear drive shaft for example and have to limp back with only your front wheels pulling you... you're gonna lose all your gear oil in your transfer case and burn it up if you have very far to go back to civilization... where as with an SYE, that won't happen. But I don't think you're gonna get too much driveshaft vibration with only a 2 or 3 inch lift.

with this rig i dont plan on off roading gettin another rig for that. i want street over all performance! so then the sye will not b needed??

If you're getting another rig for off road, leave this one bone stock.
why spend money on this one, when you could use it for actual purpose on your off road rig?
