im looking at getting an sye and driveshaft so i can lift a little higher than the 5 inches im at down the road. whats the cheapest place to get these at. i dont know much about it but i know i dont want my driveshaft to fall out while im driving
also im lookin at getting a basic front bumper and possibly a rear bumper and tail light guards

im lookin at spending 200 tops on a bumper and probably a lot more on a rear bumper, need a place for a spare now that i rolled my xj and the roof is useless now.

In my opinion you don't want to scrimp on a SYE. I would buy a good tail shaft from someone like Advance Adapters or anyone that sells a bigger shaft. The Hack and Tap styles like RE or the older Curries are just plain junk. At least I think so. Also make sure you spend alittle on your driveshaft...Its something you have to live with going slow or fast so you want it smooth and working right.

with the hack in tap do i need a new driveshaft as well?
and i know RE makes one but where do i get a driveshaft at?

Yes, you'll need a new driveshaft since the h-n-t changes the output to a flange-style. RE offers them, as well as Tom Woods and most local driveshaft shops.

Go see Richard at Full Size XJ Gear - he covers pretty much every product out there and he's a great guy to deal with.

FWIW, I'll second (or third) going with a complete SYE. Hack & Taps can be great, but they can also be bad - the full-on SYE will allow for future mods as well, very simply.

my good friend and jeep mentor runs an RE hack and tap on his 4.0 wrangler w/40's and has never had a problem. no vibes even with an extreme angle at 70 mph. but then again, Hasta
