SYE and 3 inch lift on later yaers XJ
Hey guys a buddy and me was just wondering how many of you all had to do a SYE on the later year XJ's when doing a 3 inch lift ? or did you just lower the TC. Like I said I was just wondering

I did a 3" zone on my 2000 and had vibrations, they were slight but got worse under load, it was bearable, but I knew in time it would eat up u joints. I put in a SYE, and now no vibrations as all - smooth as butter!

ya just don't know ya need it till ya need it...
If you have a 2 door I'm willing to bet you'll need it. 4 doors are hit or miss.
4 guys with XJ's at the shop I go to, none needed sye kit, till my ol bad luck XJ rolls up in there LOL. I had vibes so bad it felt like those massage chairs at the mall.

Thanks guys . I guess I should've made it a poll type thread but we wanted a little feedback also. He has a 2001 and we were wondering the possibility of running into an issue after the lift. It sure would be nice if they would've made these rear fender openings like a pickup so we could cut as much as we liked .lol

When I lifted my 98 3" I had vibes at 30 mph and it ended up being a tcase drop and 2* shims that fixed them. Do sometimes wish I did the sye though
