Default Buying SYE help.

I've shopping around for an SYE for a few days now and I'm trying to find the right SYE for the best value. For starters no HnT, I'm going full SYE. While shopping around I've seen a ton of companies that make them, but they all list them as specific to certain vehicles. Isn't an NP231 SYE like all the rest? They are all basically the same case...So what is the difference? Only thing I can figure is different yoke sizes? Can anyone help me out with this?

I got mine through Adams driveshaft in Utah. Talk about customer service, when it came time to measure for the driveshaft. He used FaceTime to make sure everything was correct. When I put the SYE kit in. He helped me through a boneheaded mistake I made on a Saturday night. He gives you his cell phone number if you should need it. I used a rugged ridge super short kit, and their shafts are custom made and lifetime. They dare you to break it. Total pkg was about 400.

Just bought mine last week and got it in the mail 2 days ago. The Jeep Hut took care of me really good ( they're here on the site). Rugged ridge SYE & Tatton DRive Shaft. $155 for SYE (shipped) and $250 for drive shaft. Smokin deal (I think)
