I think I'm going to buy this SYE...and my question is about the driveshaft. Where can I get a cheap ds that will fit an 8" lift? Or can I get a front shaft and have it extended alittle?
In my humble opinion, I'd go with a TOm Woods Drive Shaft. It's right the first time, Great support and warranty, and I've snapped a pinion, stripped the straps off a yoke, and just 2 weekends ago snapped both u-bolts on my rear and the drive shaft keeps on spinning.
When buying a SYE, you can either use your front DS for a short time until your new one comes. but you should measure the driveshaft length needed to get it right. Tom Woods does custom shafts...."cant go wrong with a woody"
yes you can I have one i am running right now, the stock front driveshaft was about 3 or 4 inches too short so I had the long part completly re-tubed, its gonna run you about 200 to do so. Works great. i have the PORC sye kit and a 8.25 rear and everything bolts right up, the only thing you need if you are doing it yourself is longer driveshaft bolts at the cv joint.

Thanks, thats the answer I was looking for...are you running about 8" or close? I have a pretty good driveline shop near me that could probably do the work.

had to have my rear TW shaft shortened, they charged me 75 shipped and that included a new ujoint.......sent it to them dirty they sent it back clean and repainted. I am very impressed.

no closer to 4", I have a 5sp though if that matters. Measure the distance right now from the output of the tcase to the center of the rear joint and thats a close approximation of how long of a shaft you need. There wont be enough slip yoke contact at that height is usually the case without modification. On tom wood's site it shows you how to measure if you wanna compare shafts from the junk yard, but the auto tranny shafts are longer. If you tell the guys from PORC you are from naxja and saw it on the site for 169.00 they will give you that price too.
