Help identify this SYE
I recently picked up a 2001 Cherokee Limited. It came with a 4.5" Rubicon Express short arm lift and a bunch of other things including what I believe to be is a SYE. The only reason I am assuming it is a SYE is because how else could I have a 4.5" short arm lift, no transfer case drop brackets, and absolutely zero vibrations?
Since I bought it as a trade in from my local Jeep dealer they weren't able to give me a list of all the things the previous owner did. That being said, I'm hoping someone can tell me if this is a SYE and if so what kind it is (i.e. hack and tap, etc.).
Thanks in advance!

Okay, now I'm confused. I don't see any shims in the leaf springs. Going to go check again for a transfer case drop... Just trying to identify what the previous owner did / didn't do.

Best thing i did was get rid of my TC drop. Why would a jeep get lifted only to have a weak spot. I went with a hack and tack and it gets along well now

I have an "advanced adapters" slip yoke off eBay. I bought it from my buddy, who bought it on craigslist. Seems to work great! Had a reputable shop put it in with no issues.

X3 for doing the SYE. If you have the ability, do it yourself. It is a pretty simple job and you can grab another front ds from the jy cheap.

I plan on doing a SYE. I know, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and while that might apply to some things I want to have maximum clearance underneath the Jeep.
I've been checking out the Advanced Adapters SYE with the Tom Woods driveshafts and that seems like a nice way to go which is probably what I'll end up doing.
I've got all the tools to do it myself so it's just a matter of time and money.
