Help with YJ lift
My friend put a 4.5" RE lift on his YJ. He has the vibes bad. He put in a
tcase drop and the degree shims that came with it but its still practically
undriveable. Anyone else know the quick easy answer. Hopefully not a 900
dollar sye and driveshaft? To do that is OK but he needs to save up for it
and we need to make it drivable. What should the driveline angles be like?
That darn driveshaft is so short under there.

Re: Help with YJ lift
4.5"? Ouch, I dunno Kevin.... I'd never consider going even 4" without
a SYE and longer shaft. Hopefully someone else might have a
suggestion, but I sure don't have one. I'll be following this thread
for sure though to see!

Re: Help with YJ lift
There's really no way he can do this much lift without an SYE & CV shaft.
I've got this lift set up with Dynatrac axles and an Atlas II. The rear axle
was dialed in spot on the money ant it still can exhibit a trace of
vibration under different loads.

Re: Help with YJ lift
Hey guys, what's a SYE? I'm considering a 4" lift on my CJ and the only mod
I thought I'd need is a drop pitman arm.
Thanks,

Re: Help with YJ lift
Slip Yoke Eliminator.... but I don't believe it's an issue with CJ's.
On the Wranglers, it reduces the transfer case tail shaft length,
allowing you to install a longer rear drive shaft which will reduce
vibration (reduces the degree of angle between transfer case and
axle).

Re: Help with YJ lift
Yes, on Real Jeeps the driveshaft yoke is bolted to their output
shafts.
