I did it, i the vibes were unbearable, then i went 4wding and snapped the tcase rear output shaft, you need an SYE...

A mate of mine ran a 3 inch lift with no SYE and he was so over the vibes after only a couple of days that he ripped his 3 inch springs out and went back to his 2 inch!!!

Seriously, if you happen not to get the vibes you'll at least get some substantial wear happening before too long...

i would get the SYE before i did anything anyway.

A 4" lift with no SYE is like having the trots and not being near a toilet......you can do it for a while but sooner of later you will be in an unpleasant place.........

How much are SYE and rear shafts going for these days?

[starter]

i just don't run a rear drive shaft at all... just do the mall crawling in front wheel drive

Depends on brand - dont want to say too much as all of the guys that quoted and supplied me are AJOR advertisers and I have to respect their commercial interests - lets say USA4x4 have an awesome set up which is US made and Wooders sold me the same gear as 4WD1 who advertise the kit on their www for $1300 odd. Wooders sorted me with some RE upper rear control arms and shock relocaters for a price that was too good for 4WD1....as much as Tony W obviously knows his way around a Jeep like I know pies, I couldn't justify the premo US made gear - someone who wheels hard probably could....

PS - JB - Use the search feature, there are heaps of threads on this topic hehe - always wanted to say that to JB for some reason
