Hopefully this will help if u r interested in getting a new DS. Call Rough Country, their sye is around $190 i think...tell them what size lift u got and they have the ds for it also and they can ship both at the same time. I got a quote from them for $500 for both sye/ds but it was only for a 3" lift tho..its free to call and ask and if they don't have it they will show u the way. Also..mention being a member of this forum and u get like a 10% discount

 

hack and tap saves even more

 

Lol

 

That's true but I'm not to worried about price wanna make it strong and right ya know

 

Got the lift done but I don't think j can run a front drive shaft in the rear look like it will be too short after you count in the inch or so you will loose from the slip yoke

 

sye is just a reg shaft thats been done already and new rear housing been running hack and tap over year never a issue

 

i think it was thursday some one posted a list of factory ds lengths on the forum

 

So if I but the hack&tap then a front xj drive shaft will work with 3.5 lift and 8.25?

 

Yes.

 

O I said screw it sye comes on tm I will put it in and call Tom woods and get on shipped out lol

 

i just installed an iro hnt with front ds. i got it in like 2 weeks. took a few hours to install. other than the wife's attitude( ) for working on my jeep "too long" it wasnt bad.

 

How much lift you running and what rear end? D35, 8.25?

 

If you run a front DS in the rear after an SYE, don't you need longer bolts to hold the shaft in?

 

I'm running about 6.5 in front around 7 in the rear. c8.25.

 

The bolts come with the HnT SYE from IRO.
