It’s time to re-build or at least re-do some things. I’ve trimmed the fenders with the old cut a fold method. I’m at about 4.5” of lift, stock control arms, lowered transfer case with stock drive train 4:56 gears and 8.25 axels. Not looking to lift anymore if I can get the 33’s to fit and have some travel.
Looking to get the tcase back where it belongs. To do this I’ll have to do some form of SYE. Output shaft replacement or H&T
Replace the stock LCA’s with some adjustable arm’s. JKS or RE
Also hope to buy/build a rear bumper with tire carrier.
Install TJ flairs which brings me to my next choice. What BS to run, if I go 4.25 “ with a 12.50 tire it would probably look wrong because the TJ flairs will stick out more. I also have a set of 3.75 but will this be to far and limit flex, both sets of wheels are 8” wide.
I’m looking for some input from folks whom have experience with SYE’s . I know those who have installed the shaft kit will say it’s the only way to go but is that because no one wants to admit they could have done it with the H&T or have they had a bad experience with H&T? I know about Tom Woods policy.
With the LCA’s I’m leaning towards the JKS’s but are they worth the extra cost over the RE? Also how do measure to get these adjusted right, is it wheel base or is there some other point to measure from?
Since I’ll have Bessie apart should I just go ahead and give her another inch or two of lift, I could get away with 1 ½ blocks in the rear and just adjust up front, or will that put me over some threshold that will require me to make more changes?
