Hey everyone,

Im thinking about a lift and i havent decided what i want.. im either going to do a 3 inch spacer lift or a RC 4.5 inch lift.. But I just got the Jeep and had to put new tires on and have 30s on it. So im wondering.. If i put the 4.5 in lift on would i have to put an extended drive shaft on? so when i go offroad and flex the driveshaft doesnt pop off?

Thanks

i'd be more worried about how doofy your jeep will look with a 4.5" lift and stock tires lol

and if you go that high your probably gonna want an SYE, that would take care of your driveshaft issue

Cherokee cycling of rear axle ( up and down movement of axle ) requires somewhere for the drive shaft to expand and contract. Stock it is from your slip yoke that moves in and out. With h&t you move that in and out movement to a drive shaft That moves in and out. You drill into your output shaft and bolt a yoke on that doesn't move
