So everyone and their brother sells an SYE kit. Theres SYE kits, HD Kits, Short HD, Super Short, Mega Short, and the list goes on. Someone clarify the differences between these kits and what manufacturer I should look towards.

Thanks

Jon

 

I use PORC and front DS to the rear works fine and no issue. I have 5.5" front and 6.5" rear.

 

The shortness is the length of the output shaft. And HD is just heavy duty. The output shaft will usually be harder than normal. If you just buy the normal length non HD version of any brand, itll live the life of your jeep without any problem.

 

Im sorry but what does the first half mean?

 

Advanced Adaptors. I bought mine for less than $200 and I should have broke it all ready lol.

 

Good question, Im in the market for an sye as well....Keep the info coming!

 

I just boughtt one. Iron rock offroad. 200!

 

A Mega Short kit is not needed on an XJ.

H&T kits are a low buck solution.

Short shaft kits are fairly easy to install, depending on mechanical aptitude of course.

 

Iron Rock Offroad. HNT SYE and refurbished Cherokee DC driveshaft, $199.00.

 

Will the Iron Rock with a manual trans?

 

Thanks for the responses. The Serious Offroad only run 180, so I might go with that. Iron Rock has the "HD" version for 199 though.

One thing I noticed while looking around, some kits include a speed senor? And from a glance the two Ive mentioned dont include one nor mention anything of a sensor? Can anyone shed some light onto this?

 

Also whats the differnece between a hackand tap and a true sye? Is there difference in power or ability or lifespan? sorry if newb question

 

True SYE replaces tcase output shaft and the tailshaft housing. With a hack and tap (HNT) you cut your stock tailshaft off, drill a hole and bolt an adaptor plate on so you can bolt a cv driveshaft on. People say a HNT isn't as strong and may not balance properly.

Im in the market for a SYE too.

 

Yea I looked into HNT though the price difference is appealing, I feel like when it comes to main components(ie the driveline) its best to not cheap out and just do it properly the first time.

Anyone have anything on my "speedsenor" question?

 

The only time you need to worry about an new sensor is if ou are ordering a mega-Short kit...which you don't need.

A H&T is true SYE. It is simply an alternative to a short shaft kit.
