I don't have one and RE says that unless your over 4.5 you shouldn't need one.I do use a longer slip yoke in the rear. As for the quality of RE i would use no other.

You have a 1990 he has a 2001 model. On older models you are correct need for an SYE is usually not needed for vibes but on the newer models you won't get away with this expecially the 2000-2001 model with the LP D30..

Also that longer slip yoke where did ya get it and do you have a part #?

Any .75" poly coil spacer will work. Just find the cheapest you can find. or if you have any laying around another stock factory rubber isolator would work as well. I did that, I run 2 of em on each coil spring and it leveled out fine.

Going to pull the trigger on the RE6030 3.5in SF kit with OME shocks soon and need to know which trackbar I should get. I saw the JKS one for 200 bucks and that seems pretty expensive. Is there one for cheaper that is as good quality and how important is having one?

Where can I get a transfer case drop as a temporary fix. Don't know what SYE kit to buy or driveshaft. Let me know I gotta get this thing soon because my rear leafs look TERRIBLE!

Between a few forums, I have seen people selling NP231's with SYE for under 400$. Hope this helps some.

I totally agree i have about 4.5 inches of lift without a sye and mine drives fine no vibration
