I have a 2000 Tj with a 4.0L 5spd, np231 & a dana 35 rear end. Any recommendations on SYE kit and driveshafts and instal tips would be appreciated. I'm trying to wrap up the lift instal.
Tom Wood's Custom Driveshafts can provide both and you can't beat their pre and post sales support. Call them and ask for Tom or his son Shawn, both are great and they'll make sure you get what you need. http://www.4xshaft.com/

Ditto on the Tom Woods recommendation. I picked up my Advanced Adapters SYE Kit through them along with the new driveshaft. 5yrs and 20k miles later, haven’t had an issue.
Another vote for JB Conversions SYE. I've installed both their standard and super short versions. Match that up with Tom Woods shafts and you get quality products with great support. Just be aware that if you go super short (SSYE), the stock speedometer gear is eliminated. To calibrate the speedometer with a SSYE, you'll need something like a speedohealer. I've also installed a couple of these and they're simple to install and easy to adjust.
In terms of the SYE install, they can be done with the case in the Jeep, but it's much easier to do it on a bench. There are lots of videos on how to install one.
