Thanks! Great price. Save me a bit of money.

 

That is the second best way to do it. a true SYE is the "proper way" but I know people who bash on the HnT's with no issues

 

How does a transcase drop create more stress on the drive line? Everything Ive read says it decreases stress.

 

motor mounts, transmission mount take a big toll and need replacement more often. and then the a tcase drop (if your like me) will cause alot of damage to vital components from rocks. causing more in repairs. the tcase drop needs to stay for show lifted vehicles only IMO

 

my dad has a 98 xj with the re 5.5 lift and only has a tcase drop in it with the stock driveline in it and has no vibes and no other issues for 2 years now and for a hack and tap they arent very strong and when they brake it snaps the tc output shaft. but just my 2 cents

 

What shocks and lengh should i run? I'm going to be doing 4.5 with 33s. Are the RE mono tubes 4.5-6.5" good?

 

What tcase drop?

 

I have never seen a HnT break an output shaft ever. Even on the hardest wheeled rigs.... And those shocks sound good to use.

 

I have to ask. What do you use? HnT?

 

I am a running a 1" extended drive shaft with TJ yoke and at 7.25" rear..... I dont get vibes. But i Also have a 96 which is not AS prone to vibes like the 97+

 

i have run a HnT in all of my built jeeps........

92 xj with d60s and 40'' iroks locked f/r
88 xj hp d44 9 inch 37 ssrs locked f/r
91 xj hp d44 9 inch 36 iroks locked f/r
90 mj hp44 9 inch front leaf conversion 40" mtrs locked rear only
87 yj 318 v8 lp d44 9 inch 42" iroks locked f/r

there is actually alot more but i got sick of typing!!

i used to beat the crap out of my jeeps and never had a single problem with any HnT sye. i only run rubicon express though.

they are tough enough for me.....going in my current build as well

 

How hard is the install?

 

its easy as long as you have an angle grinder and a drill.

just be easy on the tap when tapping for the bolt on your output shaft. i have broke a couple off trying to hurry and it sucks to get the broken piece out.

you can do it with the t-case still in the jeep.

i block my wheels and take out my rear d-shaft. measure where you need to cut the output shaft and mark it with masking tape all the way around the shaft. start the jeep and put it in drive to let the ouput shaft spin. then make your cut with the angle grinder with it spinning. this makes a super straight cut if you know how to use an angle grinder.

also make sure to drill your hole straight!!!

some say its not safe....but thats how i do it.

or you could use the instructions.....lol i havent looked at them since the first one i installed.

 

x2 that is how i did my buddies
