Re: Help with YJ lift
If you add a 1" motor mount lift it might give you a little help by
pointing the tranny lower, but at these angles you will still go through
u-joints. Even if this works I would get the SYE soon. Jim F.

They do. The original post is about a YJ, with leaf springs. Real Jeeps also
have the drive shaft bolted to the tcase. They have round head lamps too.

Is it me or are the newer TJs with round head lamps not as bright as the
YJ lights? Somehow I get the perception that the square lights seem brighter
also with the high beams on. I used to have an old Nissan truck with the
720 pickup body and it had 4 square lights that really worked well and
were exceptionally bright.
