looking at the jb sye , im at 6.5 lift with angle problems . should i go with the standard sye or the short sye?

 

Standard is fine. The shorter one means you will need an even longer driveshaft

 

well i have to get a built driveshaft anyhow

 

Why don't you use another front driveshaft?


There isn't any real need IMO.

 

The only time you will ever need to run a short SYE is if it is on a Wrangler or if you are running a doubler in your XJ.

 

Standard then proper length front shaft in rear done...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slip-Yoke-Eliminator-Kit-NP231-SYE-Kit-Wrangler-1987-2006-XJ-1988-2001-/261086139783?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACherokee&hash=item3cc9f25587&vxp=mtr#ht_3142wt_1046

 

just ordered the std from tom's4x4 . never opened a t-case befor but the directions look straight forward

 

You gonna pull the case?

 

Installing a SYE is really, really simple. I never did one before I did mine, never even opened a transfer case. I left my case in, didn't want to screw with gettin to some of the bolts. Only 2 things you'll need that you may not have are the flat head snap ring pliers & the Allen wrench to open the fill plugs. For fluid to refill, jeep recommends ATF+4 I grabbed 3 containers so I'd have plenty for backup. Check out YouTube for vid's before you start.
