2001 xj with t-case drop 6 inch in the front and 5.5 in the front. No need for sye for me.. i do get vibrations tho

 

Yes, lengthen it. And yes, that's how.

 

I was typing like I talk. Sorry. I dont know about you, but I've seen a drive shaft brake before effin freaky. I wouldnt ever cut and weld mine. Janker than a tcase drop if you ask me. But I'm sure someone out the could weld it up right. I just wouldnt trust it.

 

Plenty of shops and people do it. Never seen one fail. Hardly "janker" if it is done properly...

 

I didn't want to cover up a permanent problem with a temporary fix like a t-case drop or shims. I just added ground clearance, why subtract it with a t-case drop. I have a Tom Woods super duty SYE (on sale right now by the way) and drive shaft in the mail now. I would rather spend a little more and do it right than put a band-aid on the problem. So yes, to each his own.

 

The normal person cant do that. Theyd have to take it to a shop.


Lol You drop the cross member 1 inch hardly any loss of ground clearance..and if you are such a hardcore wheeler that you do need that one inch. why'd you only get a 3 inch lift kit?

 

Hope that helps...

Ever heard of low center of gravity? There are plenty of "hardcore" guys that run 0-3" of lift.

 

No. The math is simple Xj + lift = sye. There is no xj + x amount of lift. its any lift. A sye isnt just for angles, it allows you to run better shafts with better joints.

its not to each his own, this is the second time you tried to discredit people DOING IT RIGHT. Because you were 2 cheap to do it right yourself.

Blocks are as bad as everyone says they are. Transfercase drops are as bad as everyone says they are. Why the hell would you want lift without added flex, ie blocks? Why the hell would you want to buy a lift FOR GROUND CLEARENCE, then drop the belly down because 100 bucks is the end of the world.

I've got news, if 100 bucks is the end of the world, sell your jeep and buy a bus pass.


Why'd you lift at all? to mall crawl? don't say to fit tires, you could cut stock lif tand fit tires. Its for suspesnion flex, GROUND CLEARENCE and travel.

You can stop posting mis information about how you think its okay to do things wrong, and use bandaid hacked fixes isntead of ponying up the pesos to do it right.

For the record, I have no issues making my own drive shafts without having a machine shop.

 

The Blacksmith... You are the man.

 

^x2!

 

Not to jump into a pissing match here but if your worried about ground clearance AND driveline angle why not get a manual transmisson crossmember. It will give you almost 1" lower tcase (better DS angle) and not rob any ground clearance. Frankly I have to agree that with 3" of lift you dont really need a SYE/CV driveshaft. Get solid sealed ujoints on your DS if your worried about breaking them. Unless you have a powerstroke under the hood...

 

You build for war then drive to the mall, you don't build for the mall and try to go to war...

 

Would you like help pulling that golden ***** out of your ***? Hahah.

 

Pretty sure I dont need an sye for 1/8" of a lift..

Hahah what was the first time? All I said is that seems a little silly to get a SYE for 3 inches of lift.

Not everyone. And again not everyone. blocks give you ground clearance?

100 bucks isnt like pocket change?

OR you like the look of a lifted Jeep, some people do. My friends dad lifted his wrangler because has a back problem and its harder for him to get in and out of a car than a truck.



Well good for you buddy.

 

All I said is that a SYE of 3 inches of lift is a little silly.
Oh and if a 1 inch tcase drop is hindering your rigs abilities..then wtf do you do with the drive shaft? because I imagine that if your tcase is rubbing, then you drive shaft would before your tires would stop it?

Haha chill out bro, some people on here don't wheel their rigs every weekend, and a tcase drop is a very viable option for them.
