Adj. Upper Control Arms & SYE

[tonkatruk]

just for my 2 cents worth. I have a 2inch body ans suspension lift with 33's stock roatios, sye and No lockers. I would go for the SYE and UCA first. While it has a good serviceable LSD in the rear use it and learn how to drive it off road as is then move up to Lockers.

it is worth checking your pinion angle every 6 months or so.

If my lift sags anymore, I'll be stock. It (OME) has already sagged to half its original height in three years. I have the adjustable rear UCAs installed, but they are set to stock length.

SYE was done about three months ago. I am planning on doing a belly-up soon, so the angles would change regardless.

Tonkatruk,

I'm just pricing around for costs to install the SYE & driveshaft, I aready have a rear ARB locker and drove most of the Springs 4x4 park without using it once so the SYE seems like the best plan atm. How does your Jeep drive with 33's and stock ratios??

Hemi, yeah not to bad, Obviously on the hway it gets a bit annoying but i have the 6 spd so that takes up a little bit of the slack.
A few guys around have installed there own SYE's. Not sure how hard it is. But UCA's can be done at home so you can save some money there.

I have stock ratios (5 speed) and 33's. Its not too bad driving around town but where you will really notice it is when you are using low range.
