Hey guys I just wanted to post up here because I just picked up my first jeep! So far I am loving it but it needs a few things and am looking for some advice from the experts. The jeep in question is a 2000 Jeep Cherokee sport with what I believe is a 4-5 inch lift, not exactly sure b/c I believe it is a combination of a one certain front lift and a different rear lift. The front has control arms from a Fabtech lift along with aftermarket coils. The rear has a spring pack w/ no lift blocks but could possibly be a stock spring pack with an add a leaf, also is running a longer than stock rear shackle. At the moment the jeep has a noticeable rake with the rear being higher than the front and I am definitely looking to cure that issue with maybe some coil spring spacers in the front.
Now onto the biggest issue I have with the jeep, it has some major driveline vibrations and from I have searched it sounds like I might need a slip yoke eliminator kit but want to give some details on what I am feeling to make sure it is what I need. From a stop there is definitely some vibration but nothing terrible, when it gets up to speed between 20mph-35mph it is pretty noticeable and vibrates everything inside the jeep but above 35mph it is pretty smooth running with not much of a vibration. Is this common that it only vibrates at certain speeds and smooths out with higher speed??? :dunno:
Now if it is a SYE kit that I need I am kind of confused on what to buy, I have to buy the actual transfer case adapter part AND a new rear driveshaft? Or just the transfer case adapter piece? I know these are probably really dumb questions but I am completely new to this jeep world but have lots of other automotive experience including Toyota 4wd knowledge, but everything has its own common "terms" and mod paths.
I know I am forgetting alot of other questions but priority one is this driveline vibration! I will post some pictures tomorrow and show off the new jeep and hopefully come up with some more questions!
Thanks in advance.
