How long did it take you to install the SYE along with all seals? Also, any typical issues or roadblocks? I've never torn into a transfer case.
I installed a poly trans mount that is about an inch shorter than the stock trans mount and I'm using that as a "TC drop" until this spring when I plan to do the SYE.

Wont i need a new rear drive shaft too or do I just go to the JY and grab a front drive shaft and use that
Check this chart out: http://www.myjeepxj.com/useful-infor...aft-infomation OE shaft allows for 1.5" travel from running length to compressed and extended lengths. So once the SYE is in measure between yokes, subtract an inch and a half, and go looking for that shaft at the JY.
Depending on how the rear end is lifted you may need to fix the pinion angle. When running a double-cardan joint in the DS you need the pinion in line with the driveshaft. Generally that means the pinion is pointing at the transfer case yoke. Shims for the rear axle will do this, but so will shackles, and some relocation boxes.
Many months... the NP231 I was working on is in my shed and I poked at it in the evenings lol

If done right the first time, it's an hour or two depending on experience and level of comfort. I've seen a lot of people mess up by putting parts in backward or moving the selector handle while it's dismantled. You should easily have it done in a day if you take pictures during disassembly

Normally the guideline is anything above 3" but it also depends on the vehicle itself. You can have two Jeeps with the same lift, one may have driveline vibes and the other may not.

What all is involved in doing a SYE, not hack and tap? Also what other parts will I need besides a SYE kit. I have a 3" lift and was getting some acceleration vibrations and an ugly growling noise on deceleration. I dropped the TC 1" last night to see if it was the cause and most of the vibs are gone and there is no more noise on deceleration.
I don't want to keep my homemade TC drop on longer than I have to and would like to start budgeting and collecting parts to do the SYE in the spring after I pull my other car out of storage.

ive never bought tires before and ive always wondered something, how long do they typically last? i know its all circumstantial, but if i bought brand new dura-tracs, should i expect a year/20,00 or..... I just dont have any idea.
