I'm trying to avoid doing a slip yoke eliminator on my transfer case out of laziness. I have a '93 with a ~2-3" shackle lift and the slip yoke is out of the transfer case about 0.75". Would I have any problems with extending the driveshaft to put the yoke where it needs to be? The only other plans I have are a 1" body lift and that won't affect this. Thanks!
You would put just as much, if not more time and effort into lengthening the driveshaft as you would installing an SYE. The easiest thing to do, would be a t- case drop. On a side note, 2-3" lift shackles are a bad idea. That would have your shackles at 8-10" long which will hang up on everything offroad and will over stress your springs.... They'll eventually invert the arch. IMO, Save up some cash and get a real suspension lift and go with an SYE.
Hey guys, if I am ready his post correctly; is he saying that his yoke slipped out an additional .75 inches from the stock position? If so, then he probably doesn't need to do anything except get rid of those long a$$ shackles and do a suspension lift.
Just doesn't seem like 2-3" of lift would pull the yoke completely out. Or maybe I am just off my rocker more than usual today.
when i did a 3" lift on my 92 after shims and TC drop my driveshaft actually became pinched between the rear end and TC due to i aligned it too straight. had to angle the rear end down slightly and replace the motor mounts thats were old and the engine was sitting back towards the firewall about a 1/2 inch.
Thanks for the replies. I just bought this and the whole lifting thing is new to me. It already has the shackles and I'm wanting to leave it as is. The yoke is out of the TC about 0.75" as it is right now and, from what I've read, it can cause some vibration in the DL because of this. Funds are kind of tight now and I want to make sure nothing gets hosed running it like this. It would be faster and easier to have the DL lengthened to get the yoke back where it belongs.
I know, I should do it right, but it's not a priority at the moment.
Your slipyoke can easily be out of the transfer case 1". No issue if you don't have vibes.
