sye kit install
Swagger:
well `i found a kit through rustysoffroad.com with the A/A SYE and tom woods drive shaft. $480.00 +S/H. is that an ok price. plus, with a 4 inch lift am i gonna have to shim the rear end or anything like that? And do i need to measure the length or the shaft or anything? hit me back. ???

nah with the sye and cv shaft you should be ok.

If they are seeling it as a kit, no measurments are needed. They just figure out the average for a lift height and build the drive shafts to that average. You will probably need to adjust your pinion angle with your control arms. On a YJ the optimum set up is to have the pinion 2 degrees steepr then the drive shaft so that under acceleration it levels out. I would imagine a TJ is the same, but I'll let the TJ guys chim in for confirmation. I just bought a cheap ( under $5 ) magnetic base to get everyting in spec. Just remeber to do all your measurments with the tires on the ground and your nomal load in the truck.

good advice.
Sandbox Sailor:
When I lifted Axles TJ, I was told by RockKrawler, Tom Woods, and JB Conversions that the rear pinion angle is supposed to be zero with the jeep sitting level. As long as you have adjustable control arms, it is easy. All you need is an angle finder to match up the pinion and drive-shaft angles.
