So im looking for a sye kit. And im really tight on money right now, so if i was to order the kit i know i need a new drive shaft. I have heard that the front drive shaft from a grand cherokee will work as a rear drive shaft on a 4 door xj with a sye.. Is this true? Any info would be really cool.

If anyone has a rough country or rustys offroad sye installed, if u could messure the length of ur drive shaft, or if anyone knows where to get a really good deal on a sye kit or a way to get around having a slip yoke?

Gee oh Dee

HnTs are typically cheaper.

What exactly is that? How does it work? And what drive shaft do i run with those?

Sry i have so many Q's im kinda new to jeeps. I just dont want to end up screwing myself over later on down the road by doing the wrong thing.

Thx

I'm running the AA SYE and a front shaft out of an auto xj, i've been running it for 2 years now with no problems. I have about 250 bucks into the whole set up.

Gee oh Dee

Hack and tap. Google will be your friend, otherwise go with the advanced search from this site.

The front DS out of an auto XJ should work IIRC.

Thx guys. Where did u get ur AA sye kit 1994xj? And thx glee.... Im just trying to find a cheap but good and strong way to get by without a slip yoke. I probly will go with his set up. It sounds good. So the front drive shaft bolted right up? No need to fab or alter anything? That sounds like my best bet. Thx guys

Also what size lift are u running 1994xj? I have about a 5.5 lift, will the front auto xj shaft still work for that big of a lift..?

Gee oh Dee

Yes, it should.

I have the AA kit and a stock front shaft is too short. So I run a custom Tattons shaft. Guaranteed, and pretty cheap check them out if you end up needing a shaft.

hope this helps http://www.jeepinoutfitters.com/scri...?idCategory=27 ...do u kn what TC u have...im going with the hack & tap with a ZJ front drive shaft

Ct67....., what size lift are u running? What is the length of ur drive shaft from output of tc to rear axle?

Was it an auto xj front shaft u tryed?

Xjjeeper. I have a np231. Is the hack and tap any better or worse then the sye kit? Because they are about the same cost... Atleast the ones i have found. For a 92 xj.

Thx guys for all the help this is really helpful in making my decission! I dont want to buy something expensive and end up having to buy something else thats spendy to just to get my DD back up and running.
