I was wondering... If i hardly ever go off road...would it be allright to install my entire lift without needing a sye kit. Its my daily driver. my lift is 4.25frt and 4.5r. I have owned this jeep a year this december and haven 't had her o/r yet.

might need a tc drop

Depends on who chimes in. My XJ is on 5in of lift and no problems yet. It's been there for almost 3 years now and I wheel it pretty damn hard. I just saw it's a 97 so you have an LP axle so I'm not sure. I only deal with HP axles.

OEJ

I have one. Yeah 97's to 01 are diff. mine is a 99.

tc drop is a bandaid on a gun shot wound, its gonna slow down the bleeding, but it isnt what you need.

Pop for a hack and tap sye, as they are cheap, and use an auto front driveshaft in the rear, because they are cheap.

why give up an inch of ground clearance with a crappy TC drop?

SeriousOffroad

You'll benefit from an SYE on the road more than you will offroad.

OEJ

Well as I said before. She is mainly a dd and I have not had it o/r.

How is it that an sye is better for on road than off? U need an sye because at flex. Ur d/s will come out. So when would that ever happen while dd? Maybe I'm missing something?

SeriousOffroad

An SYE is supplemented by a drive shaft that incorporates a Double-Carden joint. These allow for much smoother drive line operation and improved drive shaft angle.

Ok. I can see that. So I guess ill just stay @ 3" for now. Then later on when I have the money ill buy an sye and install the shackle/ spacer part of my lift then. Thanks a lot for explaining that to me frank.

the jeep man 94

get a ds out of a 94 it about two inches longer than a99 ds i got 5in lift thats a i did

OEJ

So that's all I would need? Just a longer d/s? And it will bolt right up? And I would be able to put my full lift on? Will I still use my t-case drop?
