Yeah he ignored TeraflexAs far as I understood it he was concerned about the RR mega short being Chinese but the JB conversions being out of stock. As far as I can tell the Chinese RR mega short is still the one being considered.

Wasn’t a thread on here about the jb using better oem housings and the China ones cracking?Yeah he ignored Teraflex
The preferred one seems to be JB. Both Adam’s and Wood sell Teraflex.Wasn’t a thread on here about the jb using better oem housings and the China ones cracking?
Mine isn’t the short but it’s the advance and has been fine for 2 yearsThe preferred one seems to be JB. Both Adam’s and Wood sell Teraflex.
Blaine has mentioned that the Teraflex doesn’t seal as well as JB.
My Teraflex seals fine
I'd go with Tom Wood's shop & see what they're stocking for kits right now. They make the shafts right here in UT, their turn around is about a day once they get the measurement, and they do a package deal with the SYE.I was doing some last minute reading on the Rugged Ridge Mega Short SYE and see that it's "imported". So IOW it's made of Chinesium. That isn't very comforting. JB conversion is cheaper but out of stock. As I understand it there are only 2-3 companies that make these?
I like to buy American and am willing to pay a little more if I'm getting something truly better. I don't ever plan to go above 35" tires w/o getting an Atlas or similar so I dunno if the stronger(more expensive) super-short SYE would be worth it.
Older YJs and XJs pretty much, like the late 80s years. Shouldn’t be an issue for you.While on the subject...I've watched a bunch of youtube vids about SYE installs and some of them had to shorten the shift-shaft so the new back cover would clear. I'm thinking those are oddball or a different Jeep?
The AA kit had a separate set of instructions for that but if I recall it was only for some YJ models. Wasn't applicable post-'96.While on the subject...I've watched a bunch of youtube vids about SYE installs and some of them had to shorten the shift-shaft so the new back cover would clear.

Ouch is right…I actually just finished the SYE install and will be measuring the DS as soon as I get the control arms adjusted for pinion angle. I was expecting $350-$400ish….did you get it chromed or something?also Installing a mega short SYE and double cardan. just went to Adams. now $679. ouch, but will go with it.
Just realized you were getting the whole kit.also Installing a mega short SYE and double cardan. just went to Adams. now $679. ouch, but will go with it.
