I have a 94 XJ. How high can i lift it before i have to put a SYE in??? What are some major thinks to look for in a lift i am going to drive on the road but also offroad in???

 

ahhhh...search tool is your friend. most people start to put in a SYE at around 4.5" lift main things to look for kinda depend on what you want. short or long arms, full leaf packs or AAL or shackles, different types of shocks, fixed vs. adjustable control arms, and the big one......budget. from what it sounds like though, ur guna want a short arm setup, full leaf packs are always better compared to AAL. and when lookin at different lifts, make sure that it comes with new U bolts, swaybar links, shocks, coils (or spacers), and all the hardware, i know i might be missing something though cant think of it right now

 

i was looking at a Rough Country 4.5. It comes with new front coils springs, AAL, shackles, new U-bolts, new control arms, transfer case drop kit, sway bar linkage, brake line relocations brackets. Its seems to have everything i need. Any other pointers???

 

I HIGHLY recommend the sye...my 3" still has minor vibes with a 1" trans case drop...

 

Sye past 3 in. And then SYE and a CV drive shaft at 5.5 plus

 

Is an SYE hard to install???

 

No, not really. It boils down to your abilitiy level. If you don't know which end of the hammer to use when pounding a nail....well you get the picture.

Here's what you need to do in order to install a short shaft SYE:
