You don't need a longer line with that small of a lift.

take the screw out of the bracket and straighten out the hard line. Reinstall the bracket lower on the frame rail.

Cool. I can't wait to get the 5100's I ordered from you last week. What is the best SYE for the 231? There are so many different choices, I'm having trouble picking one.

I used a yj line for the rear and relocated the front. Works great.

The Rugged Ridge SYE is a great choice...but I don't think you'll need one.

I ordered the OME TC spacer kit with the rest of my suspension parts. You think that should be good enough?

I've been considering a Rugged Ridge SYE, but I have came across several negative reviews about them being milled off center requiring that the shifter pilot hole either be ground out or milled bigger. Do you know if this issue has been resolved?

Never heard of that, haven't had any complaints from any of the folks that have bought them from my site.

Came across the reviews on hamazon. I'm a machinist so if it comes down to it I can mill it out. Was curious if you had any negative feedback on them. But while I'm aggravating you. Is there any chance they will ever go on sale for $149 again?

Dont go with rugged ridge the price is tempting but go with advanced adapters they are the same company that pro comp and a few others use to build thiers. The AA will last longer than the rugged ridge and is only about 40 bucks more
