Have no experiance with JB or Tera's SYE kit. I got my SYE kit from Tom with
my shaft for $400. It is not a super-short kit, it is the standard SYE and
standard cv shaft. The shaft slip-yoke is fully splined and booted, and came
with his custom u-joints. The SYE was easy to install and so far has served
me well. Whatever SYE you choose, if it has a flanged output, be sure to
loc-tite the t-case output flange to driveshaft flange bolts.

Not trying to be a jerk, but what is the purpose of a super-short shaft over
a standard custom driveshaft? The new custom shaft comes with a double
cardon top joint, if that helps.

The super-short SYE kit provides for a slightly longer driveshaft which
on a vehicle like a Wrangler is always a good thing. Longer driveshafts
decrease the u-joint angles which reduces the vibration problem for tall
lifts. Shorter lifts really wouldn't benefit much from a super-short
SYE kit.

I realise that shorter lifts wouldn't really benefit much from a supershort
and thanks for explaining the difference. However, my logic was that for
$75 difference, I could get the super shorty and do the labour once. This
would make me ready for upgrading to higher suspension or belly-up kit when
I go to my next phase to upgrades. Just trying to build things so that they
would not have to be replaced every time I do something.

I think the additional advantage is that speedo can be electronically
calibrated to whatever I change my ratios and tyres to without having to
spend money on speedo gears.

Thanks
TW

How easily can it be done and what is the procedure for calibrating the
speedometer with that super-short kit TW? It's a real PITA for most
electronic speedometers as I am in the business and it's an ongoing
issue for those in my industry. We're left with expensive kits like
Hypertech for calibrating new speedometers which at $340 and up not
including labor, is always an issue for my customers. There has never
been a time when I didn't wish all of the trucks I have work done on
didn't have a simple speedometer gear so speedometer calibration could
once again be simple, quick, and inexpensive to do.

Is there a quick/simple/inexpensive way to calibrate the Jeep's
speedometer without spending major $$$ for things like the Truespeed
calibrator or Hypertech programmer? If there isn't, that would be
reason enough for me to stay with the standard non-super shorty SYE kit
like I have now which works fine for even very tall lifts (within reason
on "very tall").
