providing you have a stock Ram 1500, whats the height of lift you can go before you need a SYE for the 231?

 

Huh? [sm=dontgetit.gif]

 

whats SYE?

 

socha... how did you get your pic in your sig? i cant figure it out for the life of me...

 

Slip Yolk Extension??? Only a guess.

 

:smacksheadagainstwall: you mean to tell me no one here knows what a slip yoke eliminator is???

 

You don't "ever" have to install a slip yoke eliminator with any of the aftermarket suspension lift kits that I am aware of which tops at 7" I think for the 1500. You could lengthen your drive shaft,but if you have a shortbed no matter which way you go your gonna have some pretty steep drive shaft angles.The biggest advantage to a SYE conversion is to be able to drive your rig home using the front axle if you break the rear drive shaft or u-joints.With a SYE you can remove the driveshaft and still drive the vehicle using the front axle, with a slip yoke your stranded.If you install an SYE, lift or not, you will still need to have your driveshaft modified for it.The main breakage point on the 231 slip yoke setup is the 231's mainshaft snapring,when it breaks the mainshaft moves back and forth eventually destroying the case. Gilly's Products makes fix for it, under $100,about an hour to install.

 

Way to go 94Champ, your the only one that knows what your talking about in this thread!

shott, I just put the code for a pic in my sig and I think it worked right away [&:] Just keep playing with it I suppose.

 

I put a SYE on my Jeep's 231 after I upgraded the suspension from 3" to 5". The first time I went wheelin with the 5" suspension with no SYE, my driveshaft kept on slipping out of the slip yoke on the end of the 231. I had to take the rear shaft out and wheel back to camp in front wheel drive. I guess SYE's aren't that much big of a deal in the fullsize realm.

 

I am still considering the Jeep rubicon 241 Xfer case with 4 to 1 gears in it... just for haha.s swap my HD mainshaft in, and away we go I am told well,that and a new rear shaft since it will have flange then
