I've been told I really do not need a SYE after my 3.25 inch lift. Told there are mods than can be done to the axles to do the same thing it would do. Person also said "everybody just throws an SYE on, and calls it good when there are other things that need to be done, to make it correct." Before I spend the precious money for all this stuff...(SYE and new driveshaft, and new control arms) I want to know what I should do or believe. Thanks for all good advice.
Since the lift, the driveability has gone crazy. It's really "twitchy" on the highway. I'm leaning toward all new lower control arms to get wheelbase corrected and SYE/driveshaft combo plus Spicer ball joints from East Coast Gear Supply to get things back in shape. (ball joints are getting sloppy) Opinions??
Been told I should start with the lowers since I'm on a limited budget.
Did you do an alignment after the lift? Sounds like the alignment is off or more likely your caster angle is insufficient and is making your jeep not want to stay at center while driving.
Yes, alignment was done. I think between the ball joints going bad, and all my angles being off, it's causing it to drive like that. IMO
You can see that the wheelbase is off from the lift too. Rear tires are forward....ofcourse. I just don't want to buy the SYE if I dont have to.
How is your 3.25" lift achieved? Is it a 2" suspension + 1.25" body lift? If that's the case, a MML "should" correct your driveline without a TC drop. If the whole lift is 3.25" suspension, SYE/CV and adjustable arms is the way to go if you don't want a TC drop.
Why am I seeing some control arms with a bend, and some not? The big name companies show straight ones that can be used for front OR rear.
Can someone explain that?
