Getting the Wheeling Fever
So I recently got my Jeep the 3.5" Rubicon lift,
[Linked Image]

I know the tires look out of place, but that will come in time. Well I noticed that my driveline around 30 mph shakes, but it goes away. I talked to the shop that did the work and it does occasionally happen. They suggested I do a slip yoke eliminator and a new drive line which would fix this, or lower my transfer case (I would rather not having things lower to the ground IMO). I guess my question is will this fix my issue, 2 is it okay to still drive it (dont have the cash atm to just fix it). Am I still going to have the flex and everything that should be correct? I guess I dont fully understand what the slip yoke eliminator is suppose to do. I know it gives your driveline a proper angle, just it seem's to cost around 600 buck's or so for the parts to get it done(including new driveline). Any help would be apperciated.

Body Damage is Cool
Nice looking Jeep man.

Just do a transfer case drop till you have the dough to buy a new driveline and pull everything apart for the SYE.

Easy to install and just as easy to remove. If your lift kit didn't come with one they're dirt cheap, $20 or so.

Felt the same way about the tires when I lifted my XJ, looked hella funny for a few weeks till I got bigger tires.
Now it just like it should've from the factory.

But the driveline will last till I can get it fixed? I'm working for the next like 9 day's straight so not going to get a chance just hoping I don't damage anything in the mean time.

The SYE(slip yoke eliminator) will help the drivelineout by shortening your output shaft on your X-fer, which gives you room for a longer driveshaft( about 3-4 inches longer), thereby changing your angle some. You have theright idea about the X-fer drop, best to keep it up high, but, like the guy before me said, it is a cheap quick fix until you can get the SYE. This link mighthelp you out though.... http://www.highangledriveline.com/np231&241.html

Someone was telling me I didn't need to do a SYE, though honestly I will because eventually it's going to receive a larger lift. That kit you linked me is that for a CV Drive shaft?
