Ok so my Cherokees at 4.5" of lift with 2" shackles and it has a hummm/ grinding sound to it when de accelerating Im pretty sure this is cause of the drive shaft being pulled out so far. There is a easy solution of a t-case drop but I don't want to loose that ground clearance so I have found a few more and was curious If any on had any more or could give me some info on the these things: jeep wrangler yj slip yoke 5/8" longer than Cherokees, Cherokee cross member out of a standard trans gives a 3/4" drop with no clearance loss and finally the one id rather avoid cause of price is rustys cross member that gives 1" drop. Also before when I was at 3" I had no vibes

Isnt the hack n tap for 97 and up? Plus I don't have that kind of money... No job and in high school so I'm trying to keep it on a budget.

Nickell586

No that doesn't matter. Sye or hack n tap is the best way to go. You will be glad you did later. $200 well worth it

About How much does it cost to get a stock front lengthened

Nickell586

I dunno. You don't need to get it lengthened

I meant to use as a rear drive shaft cause even If I do a sye I still have to get a drive shaft

Nickell586

Shouldn't have to. I bought mine as a complete kit from iro. Came with everything.

Ok I guess I'll have to check it out some more and add it to my options. Thanks

Or if you r on a really right budget you could always drop the t case. Your not losing that much clearance..

I'm already touching the cross member on some things so I know 1" will make a difference. I looked at the hack n tap I'm liking it a lot 199.99 for the hack n tap and shaft and you have to buy the seal thing for 39.99 so about 250 for doing it the right way. I only have 300$ in my account and its not changing for a while though hopefully I can get a few things sold soon.

Nickell586

Gotcha. Just depends what you wheel I suppose. Yeah I forgot you needed the seal too. Still cheaper than a sye. I haven't had any issues with mine.

Free shipping now too! Better hit up the relatives lol. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from them last week and I already got everything even with the holidays.

my sye = $200 dollars
used front drive shaft from another XJ $45
lengthened and checked $25(at a local drive line shop)
did the install myself was really easy. you can pull the whole tcase or do it while still installed if careful.
