hey, the PO put a 4" RC lift on my 1990 YJ. I never really thought of it until now, he never changed drive shafts or anything. How much could it cost to get a good-*****in driveshaft and all the other parts i need. Could this really mess up my drivetrain over time if i don't change it?
dont understand what you are saying.
did you do a t-case drop?
you wont need a sye kit for the suspension you put on, or a new driveshaft for that matter-
I ran my YJ with 4" suspension lift, and 1.5" add-a-leaf and still kept the stock driveshaft and transfer case alone. After about a year, the driveshaft disconnected from the axle, whipped around and took out my transfer case, which in turned jostled the transmission which screwed up the clutch. All in all... about $2000 in damage with parts and labor and that's at a bit of a bargain. I would definitely get an SYE/CV or at least a TC drop before something snaps
hey what is the name of that company that makes really good driveshafts. Couldn't remember it, its like the name of a guy, rusty or willy or something like that. Sorry to be so vague, anyone know what i am talking about?

tom woods most likely is who you are looking for i believe they sell AA SYE kits with tom woods shafts for like 500 ish. I went the PORC route and got a XJ front driveshaft and had it cut down. It was about 250$ish. When I go SOA i might upgrade shafts.
Tom Woods if perfect if you are planning on doing a SYE. Otherwise is your transfer case lowered? If it is, there shouldn't be an issue with the drive line angle. Does it vibrate when driving?
hey so i looked at the tom woods website, can someone help me with the type of SYE kit i should get, don't worry about which one is more expensive, just which one would best suit me http://www.4xshaft.com/index.html there is the link to the SYE kit overviews. Thanks for all your input, keep it coming...P.S, i try to respond as quickly as posisble, but i am in college and calculus is kickin my *****, so again, i apologize.
i do notice it, when i go on the gas it vibrates, not just cuz of the stiff ride. Going down a freshly paved road, not going balls out, i can feel the vibrations from what i am thinking is the drive shaft. I don't know if this is related, but everytime i either let off the gas, and slowly get back on, i hear a clunk but i never disengaged the gear from the trans. not sure what that is. I also talked to my dads buddy who came over, mentioned it to him, said that you would want to do one of those two things before it becomes a serious problem. Heard a horror story about the drive shaft snapping, swinging around, knocked the trans. and trans. case out of alignment and costed about 2K to get it fixed.
ooo sexy...hey would i have to buy a driveshaft with it or would one come with it? can i get some money back for my stock one and would it be worth it to replace the front drive shaft?
