88whitemanche Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 What's up fellas.... Still in the process of plans to finish my ax15 swap.... I bought an AA SYE and still undecided if I should use it on the Comanche.... The transfer case I have is from a 96+ which has the internal slip yoke that doesn't leak fluid if the shafts decides to fall off.... I still have to get shafts made for both front and rear Right now I'm thinking budget friendly but I don't want to go back on this long term....
ggcnash Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 How much lift? really don't need it unless your going more than 5" and then I've seen guys go bigger with no problems. I'm running HC 3" leafs in rear with 1" extended shackles actual lift is around 5" from stock, in front 3.5" RE with 1" spacers no vibes whatsoever With a lot of interstate driving 70-75 MPH. IMO save the sye for an xj
88whitemanche Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 I have 4.5" of lift already.... But since I swapped from an ax5 to a ax15 I was wondering if I should sye or not ....but I got the 96+ transfer case with the internal yoke... Just wanted to see from guys with off-road experience Since I already have to remake driveshaft I'm indecisive as of now... I do have an xj lol....
Incommando Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 5.5" in front. No SYE and no issues at all on road or off. I also have a later sealed tcase. Save your time and money
Megadan Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 The long driveshaft of the MJ makes the SYE not really necessary. That said, the main advantage of an SYE would come in if you ever damage the driveshaft or rear diff, it makes it easy to run in FWD mode to limp back home.
88whitemanche Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 Ok cool Thanks fellas... I'll just shorten my current rear shaft...
Megadan Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Honestly, if you already have the SYE kit and you have to have a driveshaft made in either case, why not just install it? Or am I missing something?
88whitemanche Posted June 20, 2015 Author Posted June 20, 2015 I initially bought it for my xj.... But thought since the mj is down due to the swap... I thought about doing it to the mj but I would have to bring the transfer case down...which sucks... But right now funds are tight...but I'm trying to get advice from the trail rig/ DD folks to see if it's ideal to install an sye since I have the internal yoke transfer case... Plus it's cheaper to shorten my current shaft than to extend a double Carden shaft....
Megadan Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Ahh Gotcha. Sounds like shortening the stock driveshaft would be the way to go then.
