Spring Over 90 yj ???? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

flexlarson · 08-14-2001, 11:03 PM

Just did spring over on my YJ.
I have 350 with th350 and Novak adapter to np231.
Have some questions?
How much drive shaft needs to be inside the Tcase in the back to be safe?
Also I have heard horror stories about death wobble and spring wrap.
what do you recomend to alleviate these problems before they start..

flexlarson · 08-14-2001, 11:45 PM

I just did a search and answered my own QS. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

now wondering if anyone has info on building bars to reduce axle wrap and hopping.

cj7mb · 08-14-2001, 11:57 PM

Do a search for that too. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> Sam's offroad has a good one. Build one like his. Hope that helps some. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

YOu did a SOA and motor swap and STILL have the slip yoke on the transfer case????? you are waiting for disaster to strike, I sugest getting a heavy duty slip yoke eliminator and a good rear driveshaft, this will be a much stronger setup that will help your rear driveline angle

LOPPY · 08-15-2001, 12:05 PM

Keep doing searches man. You'll find more than enough info on all that stuff.

Definately go with SYE kit, or else you will be buying a new transfer case, which you might need anyways. as far as axle wrap goes... what kind of springs are you using??? That makes a big difference. I have my YJ sprung over with some 4" bds springs and I have no axle wrap problems. but my springs are also really stiff!!

JeffsJeep04 · 02-03-2005, 11:34 AM

I hope he's gotten it figured out over 4 years....hahaha.

87JeepWrangler · 02-03-2005, 12:02 PM

shankles43,

what are trying to do, pad your post count? theres no way you accidently stumbled upon this post and thought it was new. wtf?

hefty · 02-03-2005, 12:57 PM

I used a SYE and ordered a Tom Woods driveshaft. Had a fab shop build me a track bar and all is well.

geberhard · 02-03-2005, 01:04 PM

Wtf???

WheelingPiazza · 02-03-2005, 01:56 PM

you have wrap.. No way around it.. you probably just dont noticed it that much.. Have some one take a video of you going up a hill where theres alittle bit of go pedal involved. Its there.. Just how much is the question.

My brothes 4cyl, automatic wrangler running RE soa springs has wrap. Hell my superduty has wrap...

withamc · 02-03-2005, 02:07 PM

How's the slip yoke holding up? (Might as well ask since this thread has been brought back from the dead

)

That was probably one of his first posts.
After 3 and a half years, I would hope he has it figured out by now

flexlarson · 02-04-2005, 06:13 AM

Hello Guys . I got the SPring over done and have since done a few others on Jeeps and Samurais.
You will get axle wrap with a SPOA . I usually fix this with a traction bar . I did drive the Jeep with the Chevy V-8 on the Road for a long time and never had any problems . I never did any burnouts or wheeled it so it was not and issue.
Three heim joints some tubing a shackle and a couple mounts are all you need to make the traction bar.

WOW THATS AN OLD THREAD . WHAT MADE YOU KICK THIS DEAD HORSE>

Speaking of the Slip Yoke ELiminator. Im thinking about getting one for a 92 YJ I picked up. The Back of the T-case leaks right now after I broke a Driveshaft and it flipped around. I think it may have bent the Main shaft in the T-case.

Any recomendations on the Best SLip Yoke ELiminator Kit?

YeeP · 02-04-2005, 06:20 AM

AA or Teraflex seem to be the strongest and most complete IMHO

SlowMo · 02-04-2005, 10:13 AM

I have the AA SYE, and it seems to do the trick. It comes with a nice beafy shaft.

Road Head · 02-04-2005, 10:22 AM

Yeah, the one from DC4WD because it is the cheapest. Porc's is also really cheap (by cheap, I mean price, not quality). I went with DC because he also sells the Tera 2lo kit. Everything was perfect!

JeffsJeep04 · 02-04-2005, 10:53 AM

I got the JB kit for PORC too, great kit, and the PORC decals look kick ass..hahah.
