I'd estimate 6" max with a stock XJ front DS, maybe more with a ZJ one.

Save up the money, get an Advanced Adapters HD SYE, top notch quality, nothing for you to mess up drilling, tapping or cutting.

Ive heard a lot about SYEs over the time but not what to use for drivelines/where people get them (favored stores). Does the driveline come part of the kit or am I missing something? Im going to see how mine does without one for now (3.5" bastard pack lift), but just want to know what to keep my eyes open for.
Or, after reading the last post again, and seeings as how I have an extra front driveline, perhaps I should go that route on one of the jeeps... Is there a build thread on that conversion?

Most SYE kits don't come with a new rear driveshaft, however Advanced Adapters does sometime offer a package deal with a Tom Woods DS.
IMO, you don't need a Tom woods driveshaft, get an Advance Adapters SYE and rebuild two stock front driveshafts. A stock front will work in the back with an SYE and if you have a spare it will work for the front or rear.

Ok cool, because I didn't want it to be a noticeable inch or so. But I guess I'll just skip the track bar an just get one later if I ever need one. Thanks
