im looking at either the re-hack and tap SYE from RE or the 300 dollar one from them but i cant tell the differece and does the 300 dollar one come with the cv shaft and if not wat is the shaft wit hteh splines on it. its got me soooo cunfussed sone help please

If you value your jeep, stay away from quack and tap like they are plauge.
The AA SYE is the best in my opinion.
No, they do not come with a drive shaft, but do come with a new main shaft.

I do a complete install of the AA SYE, New HD driveshaft and labor for $800

I can sell you the AA kit for $239+shipping.

Let me know

what you are doing is changing the transfer case yoke (thing that attaches the driveshaft to the t-case) from a slip yoke, to a fixed yoke, hence the name slip yoke eliminator.

The hack-n-tap is one approach. here you cut off part of the output shaft on the t-case, (the hack), and then tap threads into the end and bolt on a fixed yoke.

Advanced Adapters, and JB conversions are two vendors that replace the main shaft with a shorter shaft designed for a fixed yoke. Both come with a new rear tail cone for the transfer case. This approach seems to be stronger, and results in a shorter overall transfer case which allows a longer rear driveshaft -- which is a good thing.

I have the JB conversions. I think it is comperable to the AA. Some like JB better, some like AA better. I don't see any difference.

JB Conversions has a new short shaft setup that allows an even longer rear driveshaft that previous setups. I've read about it but that's about all I know.

here is a link.

If I were doing it all over again, I would likely go with this new super short SYE which would allow a longer driveshaft. an inch longer DS helps the angles abit.

another comment.

R/E is just a reseller of both the SYEs and the driveshafts. I think they sell these so they can sell complete kits for one-stop-shopping. I don't think they are trying to compete on price, but they just want to have

I wouldn't buy a driveshaft from R/E, instead I would fine a reputable driveshaft shop since you will likely be a return customer. Driveshafts need to be maintained, rebuilt, straightened from time to time and I've found shops like to work on their own stuff.

I did the JB conversions on my newly acquired TJ. Here's a small write-up on it.
