Not sure if its a steal, but doesn't sound like too bad of a price.

SYE is about $240, So $400 is not bad. If you could get it for $300 thats awesome.

I agree, I would try and get it knocked down to the $300. Having a SYE already installed just doesn't seem like justification for extra cost to me. Seems like when I was looking around thinking I might need one I was around $200 to pull one myself.

$150 ??? What's wrong with it. That's too cheap IMHO. What you could always do is go to your local junkyard and just pull a t-case out of a cherokee. Check internals before buying. Cost you pretty cheap. SYE needed for 6.5+ lift. I run 5" on a slip yoke. No issues at full flex.

If anything the $400 looking the best if you don't wanna unbolt one from junkyard.

Should be a direct swap, the only thing you have to look for is the spline count. If it's an AX-15 its 23 spline count, if its the AX-5 its a 21 spline count. Match spline count your splines if same then it should go in no problem
