"Like" has nothing to with it, it's about strength vs budget.
Choose which is more important to you and shop accordingly.
Question here... I installed a 4.5 inch lift and wasnt having any vibration issues at all, but did manage to drop my drive shaft when the yoke slipped off the shaft the other day, Im looking into the SYE kit, but im wondering does that take away the ability for the shaft to move with the flexing of the leaf springs pushing and pulling the shaft ? I thought thats what the slip yoke was there for, and its okay to take that away and have a more connected system ?
