I know this has been beaten to death but right now i am at 4.5 inch lift on 33's. i will be adding 2 inch shackles and 1.75 inch coil spacer. this will get me to about 6.5 inches of lift. i am getting a sye (not a h&t) i need to know if i can run a cherokee front ds in the rear. the kit says it shortens the tcase output shaft 6.5 inchs. thanks, oh and check out todays junkyard find.



and a throttle body space and rear skid plate...all for 30 bucks

 

TB spacer is BS. But eh, the others make it worth it.

I think it will depend on what trans you have, as an auto and manual are different lengths.

I fear, though, that it will not be long enough.

 

i know they are but the guy at the junk yard threw it in for free lol.....and sorry about lack of info....np231, auto, 8.25 rear end.

 

I'm up around 7.5 and I was looking at that he other day. It would be.very close.

 

yea that's what i thought, i was under it today measuring and estimating, are the gc front ds a little longer?

 

Don't know. I'm gonna scour he jy next time I go and see if I van find another vehicle that is a good candidate.

 

what kind of sye do you run? what are you doin for a rear ds? custom?

 

Hold on to your pants..... I don't have one yet. Combination of shackles and shims makes my jeep almost vibration free.

 

oh i see lol, well i need a rear shaft about 33.5, turns out 94 zj 4.0 front shafts are 32 unextended 35 extended. so off to the junk yard tomorrow.

 

Perfect!!

are those compressed lengths? and how much length would a cv add

 

i used one i got out of a 96 grand cherokee, and i am at 7" of lift. fit just right. i have an AX-15 5 speed and D44 in the rear. with the auto, your drive train is another inch shorter then mine, so should fit just fine. and if it doesnt fit, measure for a new one and drive around it 4x4 till you find it....lol! i drove to the junk yard in 4x4 with no rear drive shaft after my SYE install
