You can buy the RR SYE from Seth at 4WP for cheaper price than 225.... under 200 for sure....
I run 35's on a 5.5" lift you should be fine if you trim....

Seth told me the one he sold me is Rugged Ridge, so I'm guessing it isn't total crap. I gotta look up what to do about a driveshaft still. Bleh
EDIT: Probably should have let the page reload before I posted haha.... Yeah, Seth got me the RR out the door for well under 200... If I have a 2000 4.0 auto, I just need to find the front shaft out of a 96+ auto?

You can watch a vid on youtube and figure it out.. If not there are plenty of guy around here that can do it for a decent price. if the Drive shaft is out of an automatic you will be fine from 3" to 6.5"

Ok so I know I will need my SYE, but what about brake lines? Do I have to do stainless steel or can I extend or what have you guys done. Also I'm gonna weld some longer sway bar links.
