Many of the heavy duty syes are clones of eachother, just reboxed. As for price. They run $179 at crown automotive, which is about as good of a deal as you will find. For driveshafts i usually just run stock xj front shafts. They are plenty strong for any of us, and can be had used pretty cheap, and uses quality spicer joints. If you have problems with a stock shaft, then you need to upgrade u joint size.

I'm looking for a good source for an NP231 transfer case with a SYE already installed. Found a guy on eBay who has NP231's w/ SYE, but he wants $750, and that seems pretty steep. Also looking for a rear driveshaft for a reasonable price. Anybody?

Low Profile, thats a good price. I ordered an assembled unit from Mountain Offroad on Ebay, and it was $899 free shipping and no core charge. Also was built with the thicker chain/heavy duty internals apparently (I wasn't about to crack open a new tcase to verify!). Put it in 2 weeks ago and been running smooth ever since.

Just noticed you didn't want RR....any reason?

I did a bunch a research before ordering mine and have not read any issue with RR.
As a matter of fact, i recall reading somewhere that they are quite similar.

Cheapest way would be to get a RR SYE from Serious and use a front drive shaft from either a Grand Cherokee or a Cherokee, depending on your lift height.

GL with the search.

The IRO H'nT is still holding up great for me, and it helped with vibes tremendously.
