Advice for a 242 sye

Used the IRO H&T SYE on my 01 242 and it has been great for over 2 years

Highly recommend Adams Driveshafts, custom cut to your application and solid as a rock, great people.

I’m the OP, Just going to add to this thread.

So I went with the iro hack n tap. Went pretty smoothly. Ordered a Chinese front driveshaft, and cut it 3/4 of an inch longer then the iro directions said, per a suggestion in this thread. Had to cut off some of the yoke to make fit, but worked out ok.

Now I need to some help on the degree shims I need. My driveshaft angle is 17*, and the pinion angle is 8*. What degree shim should I order?

And is there an easy way to add the shims once the lift is on? I just snuggled down the u bolts, have not torqued them yet.
Thanks.

Since everyone likes pictures, some before and some “in progress” shots.

Just to be clear, I cut the transfer case output shaft 3/4” of an inch longer than the iro directions stated. I ended up w approx 5” of lift front and rear. I didn’t take out any leafs from ome leaf pack that says it’s a 3” lift. It’s 5” all day w all the leaves.

I tried a kit like that on my 2000 w/ 231, it ended up not working!
 
It was still to much weight hanging off the factory shaft!
