I one to do it right it first time

thanks for your time and answers
Jo

All you need is the sye kit and drive shaft. If you want you could rebuild your transfercase and install lower gears or 2lo kit.

I don't see how this relates to needing an SYE?

You'll need to adjust your pinion angle after installing the SYE, adjustable uppers are the easiest way to accomplish that.

You'll also need the kit, the shaft, and a quality set of snap ring pliers. Honestly, try google. There's a handful of really detailed write ups out there.

http://links4jeeps.com/ has one.

I've searched my fuckin' self and I got all mixed up by the whole bunch of different answers. this is why I asked. It's just to complete my search and confirm what I already know. So thanks for that amount of sympathy

here is a Web site that walks you thru the SYE install almost step by step.

http://www.stu-offroad.com/engine/sye/sye-1.htm

BTW, this is still the non hardcore forum isn't it?

What happened to this forum being "Flame free"?

kizer · 10-04-2007, 09:58 PM

Yeah SYE is pretty easy to do.
I did a step by step as well. You can leave the T-case in the Jeep or remove it. I choose to remove it at the time, but its completely up to you.

This forum is supposed to be flame-free. Keep it that way.

If removing/disassembling your transfer case to swap the tailshaft seems liek more than you want to undertake, you can consider the Hack&Tap from Rubicon Express (it will be considerably cheaper as well). With a new CV driveshaft it's likely you will not need to modify the pinion angle, hence no need for adjustable UCAs.

BUILTnotBOT · 10-06-2007, 06:56 PM

its easy, just follow instructions with your kit. I thought it was a lot easier just pullin the case and puttin it on a bench then workin on it under the jeep, but thats just me.

I did the samething........ much easier to work on my workbench versus under my Jeep.

patrickjeep · 10-10-2007, 05:35 PM

you dont need a sye for 4" lift but look for front housing angle.front cam bolt or ajust lower arm for prevent steering linkage

Not true...

kizer · 10-11-2007, 08:49 AM

After installing my SYE a few years back I can't imagine not installing one on any size lift beyond stock. 4-inch is a must. Why even bother trying to drop the case shim this and that. I would spend the money and do it completely right. Rear adjustable arms, CV shaft and a SYE.

patrickjeep · 10-11-2007, 03:40 PM

just install lowering kit for t-c 2"

What's the point in LIFTING the Jeep, if all you're going to do is LOWER your skid plate?

kizer · 10-11-2007, 03:59 PM

Why not just do it right and install the SYE?

Then after that you can install a TummyTuck and get rid of the stock TC and gain a few extra inches under the Jeep?

Sure starting off low buck with a drop isn't a bad thing. I mean tons of people do it, but is it the "right" thing to do?

Knuckelhead · 10-11-2007, 05:39 PM

Clearance is a good thing (4" lift)...

jonathanfromquebec · 10-15-2007, 09:22 PM

ok, I have another question... as my budget is really tight these days. I'm asking you all about 1'' of bodylift and engine mount and a set of upperarm. it will corret the angle a bit like the sye... and I will save a few hundred $$$ I'm plannig for the SYE later... but for a few months... I can't afford it.

will it be effective as a ''cheap fix'' and I'll also have it later when I'll want to install a belly up.

so what do you think ?
thanks for your time
