SYE KIT

[Burzinski's TJ]

Just wondering if anyone could help with a question about a sye kit. Im putting on a 4inch longarm kit and was wondering if i need to put on a sye kit too. i had a 4inch not longarm on my old jeep and never had an sye kit and it seemed fine.
The jeep getten the longarm kit is barely driven maybe 25 miles a week if that. but about once a month i make a 400 mile trip back home from base. Just wanting to get some more advice before i order everything.
thanks

You should be ok if you are reusing the same springs. Given that you don't currently have problems with 4" of lift, there is probably a t-case drop or a motor mount lift already installed, which helps.

the 4inch lift was on my old jeep. the jeep getten the longarm kit has never had anything done to it. sry about the mix up.

If its in your budget I would go ahead and do it, It will be well worth not worrying about it.

I opted not to and it cost me allot more in the long run

Have you gave thought to the drive shaft?

I used an XJ front shaft $25 (at a junk yard) and had it shortened for $50 or so.

i thought the sye kit came with everything needed guess not. im not from the jacksonville area so i got no idea where anything like a junk yard is. the kits going to take 1 to 2 weeks to get here so i got time to look around. if i get one from an xj where can i have it shorten at?

Any driveline shop should be able to do it easily. FWIW, Explorer front shafts work as well and a are a bit more robust.
