What's up guys, just need some input on which SYE I should pick up. Just lifted my XJ 4.5'', so I'm definitely gonna need an SYE. I don't like the t-case drop, and my U joints in the rear are already clunking. (They were already going, lift just pushed them over the edge) So, what's a good SYE for daily driving, no trails, no mud, nothing, just asphalt? Not looking to break the bank, but I also don't need anything crazy heavy duty, the truck will never see anything besides crazy NJ potholes. Thanks guys. The XJ is a 1993, 4.0, 4wd with a C 8.25 Axle

 

what transfer case do you have?

 

well, if you have a np231 then just get an advanced adapters. Open and shut case

 

Advanced adapters also makes one for the 242, although it is very expensive compared to the 231 sye, or the hack-n-tap for the 242.

 

If I was never gunna wheel my jeep I'd go with whatever I could find for the cheapest. I think for the most part any two sye's would be the same for a street queen.

 

231

 

Let's pretend im a lift rookie and know 0 about sye's. what would I use

 

There was a change in 1997? on the 231. Not sure exactly what the difference is in 231's from years before. Check the instructions on this, and maybe someone has more info

I like this thread. I saw a side by side comparison on the JB Conversion site, but wondering what Advanced Adapters or others would say.

 

They do look good.

Cool.

 

I've been eyeing this kit available through Adam's Driveshaft that includes a Rough Trail SYE. Does anybody know anything about Rough Trail?

 

^^^^This looks decent

Iron rock offroad sells a sye/shaft kit for a similar price. Ive never used it personally but Ive heard good things and IRO is well known to make good stuff.

Rough Trail is Crown Automotives "off-road" line. Crown is a reputable name in replacement jeep parts. I currently run Rough Trail HD shackles which have been very good quality. That's all I can speak on for their Rough Trail branded parts though

 

I have the PORC SYE installed in my 90. I have no other kits to compare to. That said, I found the quality acceptable; especially since they are about the cheapest you can find for a full kit. It has been installed for ~4000 miles with no issues. My use is limited trail use, some beach use and mostly DD.
