No. What's a SYE?

That's not a KJ but the concept is the same. The factory rear drive shaft is a fixed length between the joints and slides in and out of the transfer case to compensate for changes in geometry. When you add a lift, the geometry changes and also strains the t-case, introducing more chance of vibration, drivability problems, etc.

The SYE replaces the output shaft on the transfer case with a (usually) slimmer housing and a fixed, usually beefier u-joint. Then the drive shaft has a telescoping section in it to compensate for the changes in length on compression. This allows the shaft to operate with less stress on the t-case, less vibration due to drive angle, less wear, etc. The only reason that you wouldn't put one on from the factory is that it's more expensive

That part allows the y-shaped assembly that attaches from the body to the top of the diff to greater range of motion (and hence able to articulate with a taller lift). The SYE is for the driveshaft. That's for the part of the suspension that keeps the axle aligned under the rear end.

Your KJ is as I imagine mine. Gorgeous.

Thanks..

right now i'm working on additional drop frame and adding an inch of lift,
so by the next week i'll upload new photos with total 7inch lift. :JEEPIN:

Please, don't forget to take a lot of pictures of the K frame drop and steering extension :POPCORN:
