So just wondering, when I took it out it feels like things are binding in the drive line with all the vibration, is this normal and the sye should fix it? I crawled under and inspected everything and there's no indication of binding

Youre not gonna see the binding. Basically your rear shaft is already binding with any lift. What the slip yoke does is allows more driveshaft vertical movement because of the double u-joint end on the new driveshaft. With using the slip yoke, your 'slip' action is moved into the middle of the shaft. With that tall lift, your stock shaft could drop out when flexing on the trail. Mine already has problems at 3" an I have my SYE waitin

I understand how the sye works but I was just making sure nothing else could be f'ed up. I'm probably dropping off the jeep at a shop first of next week to have the sye installed. not sure about tackling it on my own and font really have anyone in my area to help out.... Bummer but it needs to be done

I do but I'm not sure how they even held the old leafs in place, they needed to go, completely rusted and one has become part of the leaf it rusted so bad.

The constant vibration is what bothers me the most, just doesn't feel good at all. In reverse there's no vibe though, I could just get around that way for a bit....lol
