i really like that sye ... for swb jeeps every bit of driveshaft length is good to keep everything smooth. my only question is, for early tj's with the speedo gears, how do you switch to a sensor? i know i'll have to buy a converter box eventually when i regear and go to 35's, but will the connector plugs right in to the sensor or what?

I have a 95 XJ i didnt go with the super short because i dont need it. Everything on mine was plug and play. very strong IMO it's the best kit on the market and it's a great price.

99 and newer should plug right in, 97-98 will need harness plug replaced with OEM Mopar part # 5014007AA. You will need a convertor to adjust the speedometer.

what about drive shaft. I guess I would have to get this installed then measure and order a tom woods. I would just like to do it all in one. I dont have a lift yet but I am saving money so I can do it right all together.

Dakota Digital makes a great black box speedo box that works well with the JB (It's actually what JB recommends). I have both waiting to go on once I get home. Can't wait.

We went with a TeraFlex ESS. It's been great. There is a writeup on our site.

You cant know your driveshaft length till the ift and sye are installed. Every truck is different every lift is different. Toom Woods is great but over priced. Find a good local shop and have them build you a shaft. I paid $300 out the door for my rear shaft 3" tube solid u-joints everything 100% new and painted.

JB Conversions x3. Mine plugged right in my 98's harness and the speedometer is within 1 mph or 2 off at 60. who needs an accurate speedo reading anyways, as long as im close i will settle for a smooth ride until i get my 80 dollar speedo box thingy.
