So to sum it up I’m a dumbass. I ordered the RE hack n tap because the IRO is $300 to ship to Canada, basically the same as just a normal SYE kit. I ordered the RE one off 4wp not realizing that I needed the RE shaft as well as it has the flange. I was planning on just getting a front shaft from a zj or something but now I realize I need the flange thing to bolt it to the sye. Im wondering (a) how to measure to take into account this flange, and (b) which flange to buy so that I can use a shaft from a zj or something.
I measured from the centre of the u joint to the output shaft (if I cut it off leaving 1.5 inches of spline) and it’s just under 34, however I have 6 degree shims installed backwards so this thing is somewhat driveable with 4.5 lift. I’m going to turn them around so that the pinion points towards the tcase, and that means the distance will be shorter. Not sure how much shorter but if it’s going from -6 to +6 degrees I’m assuming it’ll be like an inch shorter? And with the flange I’m assuming it will be another 3/4 inches? Idk but I’d really appreciate any help here guys. Thanks.
