Traditional vs. super short SYE

[Jackjack97]

Right but is it worth $100. Seems like all it does it reduce the odds?

That's what I am currently trying to decide. Anyone else want to weigh in on this

Sorry to highjack your thread but I was hoping to help you get some good information.

Longer driveshaft is less risk of vibes. Also if you have a speedohealer you can electronically adjust your speedometer for accuracy.

I went extreme short from Tom Wood and I have an LJ. Buy once cry once.

I don't know your budget or end goals, but for me $100 would be money well spent here. Again, everyone's build and focus differs.

I know that the best normal sye is the advanced adaptors one but I’ve recently been introduced to mega short slip yolk eliminators. What are your guys s thoughts on this? I believe they would give about 3 more inches of drive shaft. The reason I’m considering it is because I will have about 4 inches of lift and raise the t case about an inch or two

Get JB SSSYE. End of story.

4 inch lift with a slight tummy tuck and im a little worried about driveline vibes

Don't worry. I'm at 3" and a full tuck, JB SSSYE and a 19" Adams DC.. My angles are somewhere around 18*.

I would just get a JB SS-SYE. Honestly, I don't really see a downside to the SS SYE besides the sometimes finicky speedohealer and the extra $100. Having had an AA SYE before switching to a JB SS SYE, I fail to see why someone would go with the regular over the super short. I'll never buy a standard length again.

Is it any harder to install?

How much was a custom length adams driveshaft?

Vs the pre made tj one

 

[JDS123]

A premade shaft should never be on the agenda for any build. Forget those exist. Order a custom one no matter what.

I bought it used for $75 Through the forum. It’s an Adams, 19” long. That was my custom length, so it worked out.

Oh okay got it

Oh okay got it

A custom shaft would probably run $300

That's a good question. I think @tworley might know.

x2 on the question.

The speedo healer can work with a 97. Worst case, the plugs on yours are the 95 and older version. You simply need to buy the universal kit and splice on a new plug. You only deal with three wires; signal, ground, and positive.

Longer driveshaft, shallower operating angle for the driveshaft. When you start raising the tcase your chance of vibes are pretty high. Get a supershort sye installed, then measure for the driveshaft and order one based on that measurement.

Okay thanks

I should've used a super short SYE in hindsight. I'd have a 21ish" shaft instead of 18" and I think it would make a difference in centering ball life.
