With the RE 3.5 lift do I need anything additional? I have searched this and most SYE's are recomended for "over 3.5" lift". On this forum some of you have gone with the SYE on a 3.5" lift and some have not. Want to get rolling on this. Any and all help appreciated!

you may need a TC drop, what year XJ? The older ones tend to not need a SYE at that height, 96 plus says yes usually
2000 XJ. So if anything more than a 2" BB lift requires a TC drop and/or SYE? With a SYE you need the CV driveshaft also? Sounds like once you go to lift, you might as well "go for it" because you need the add'l mods too. I thought the 3.5" would save me the trouble. Now I might as well go for 4.5" or 5.5". Am I correct?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That may be what you want to hear, but it's not always the case. Be prepared to need the SYE anyway.

That statement is so true. My 98 was fine up to 3". Thenn all hell broke loose when I oput it up to 5"ish. I ordered my SYE kit immediately and have never looked back. By far most likely the best 'driving' mod I have done.Yucca-Man said:

My 2000 w/RE 3.5" lift had to have the SYE and CV shaft to even get out of the driveway good. I didn't want to drop the Tcase anyway. The kit was closer to five inches of lift. Once I got the shims right it was smooth sailing. Been more than a year now. Everythings fine. It's a good kit.
Got it. I will plan on the SYE and CV shaft without TC drop. That's cool I guess. Just gives me a reason to go for the bigger lift. Thanks guys. I think I'm starting to get it. My other 4x4 is a Nissan HB and with the IFS it's TOTALLY different.
This here's a good forum.

Don't forget that with the RE you can eliminate the t-case drop and the front RE discos from your order for a credit; get the JKS Quicker Discos in their place.
