Slip yoke and Locker vs Track lock??
Hey, 2 Questions today,
1. Can anyone recommend the best way to go for a slip yoke kit, 02 tj 6cyl
5spd. 2 inch lift currently. I Had to drop the t-case cause of vibration. I
would like to get rid of the lowering kit for now to gain the inch of
clearance, and also be ready for a 4.5 inch lift in the future.
2. Also, I have rear Dana 44 3.73 with Trak Lock. Would i replace that with
a locker and lock front and rear, OR.... Leave the rear end alone and just
lock the front axel?

With each height you'll need a different driveshaft length.
You really need gears, too.

I don't think that anyone can answer either question properly, without
knowing what you plan to do with the vehicle.

Re: Slip yoke and Locker vs Track lock??
I use my Jeep as an all around Jeep it is my second car, so not really my
daily driver.
I drive it in summer time as a daily driver on nice days with the top off.
I take it wheeling, this past weekend i was up in the Berkshire Mountains in
Mass. We hit mud hole and rock climbs, general wheeling.
I take it on the beach.
In the winter i use it when it snows.
I use it as a jeep should be used, as go anywhere do anything vehicle.
It currently has a 2 inch lift, 32 11.5 BF AT's. It performs excellent for
what I have. I shocked a few people this past weekend with what i got
through.
I am on a budget so i am contemplating what my next upgrade should be. Bill
recommended Gears, but I dont feel I need to change them.I am happy with the
the feel and drivability witht the 3.73;s and the tire combo.
