One thing I would like to point out is if you're dealing with extreme driveline angle while using a cardan joint, you want to check and make sure it doesn't bind up or rub during rotation, it will eat up transfercases. I learned the hard way on a 04dodge Cummins.
That answered all of my questions regarding my driveshaft. Thank you!
thanks for all you do Matt,,,I'm currently building an xj and a zj....sold my two project yj. I subscribed to Rough County today, I bought alota stuff from them for my current projects. keep up the humor and informational videos,, they have helped me tremendously thankful.

Taking my 1995 Jeep Cherokee XJ2 door to the local jeep place in town to look at getting a extended driveshaft and yolk slip eliminator put in these guys are talking may be a $900 price tag for parts and labor. Super awesome guys!!!

I just subscribed. I bought a 95 xj recently. Soon discovered all it's issues like leaks , vibration when in 4 wheel. So I started replacing everything from the drive line components to ball & u-joints. So I watch alot of your videos before tackling anything myself. Hopefully I win this give away . Would really help . Thanks Phil .

Great vids! I'm putting a 4 in long arm lift in my '05 Rubi TJ. Also going with a similar drive shaft, so do I have to worry about pinion angles? Seems like you just slapped this baby in there.
Hey matt i have being a subscriber of RC TV ever since you started with RC's products... Im putting some money away to buy their stinger winch bumper for my XJ i love the clean look it gives to it.
Just subscribed to rough country, good video. I have a drive shaft with a SYE but I just wanted to watch for the double u joints. I've gotta replace mine soon and I'm watching all your videos on those. That's a nasty gash on your head there. Lol
I subscribed! And thank you for your videos! Truly magnificent!
Thanks
Great one Matt, subscribed RC
Thanks for the video. Very helpful install. Just to be clear, can you take measurements if you haven't installed the slip yoke eliminator? I currently still have stock gear and am trying to figure out how to provide a brand with the proper measurement. My stock rear drive shaft measured out to be 27 3/4".

Im subsribed to both yall. You and rough country 😊
I subscribed to RC awesome videos from both channels
I subscribed to the Rough Country channel.
Does it matter whether you measure on the lower yoke bolt holes or the upper?
My 2004 Quadra Trac V8 already has the cardin driveshaft. I believe it's stock.Parts dealer says it has 3 driveshaft and 6 universal joints, 2 costs 1$ more than the other 4.I bought 1 but since I have it off will replace both.
Good info..
I've got a 1983 Toyota Corolla Wagon that came from the factory with a 2 piece driveshaft and center carrier baring...
Thing is I've raised the rear of the car with an extra main leaf spring added to the leaf pack ...
I removed the eyelets form the extra main leaf befor adding it to the leaf pack ...
Thing is now I'm having driveline vibration , and was wanting to know if the double cardon joint could be added to the rear shaft and if that would eliminate the Viberation ?
Any info would be greatly appreciated ..
Thanks ...

Do I need to upgrade my driveshaft for a 2.5 lift?
All good interesting information which is of value . . ( Note :- Is it true that if I put grease on my forehead my brain will think faster? - That would be an intersting development)
Subscribed to rough country! Are you done with the lift videos on this xj?
Hi, do you have a video on how to make a conversion from cv joint to U joint in the front axles for a ZJ 1993?
Thanks
Love the grease make up you wear..looks great! ;-)
Is it true you can use a front drive shaft instead of a custom one with your sye at 3.5 inch lift
BleepinJeep . Question about grease guns, when you grease your vehicle, do you put it in till it starts to come out a bit or do you just do a few pumps ?
I subscribed to rough country!!

I took off my drive shaft when I rebuilt my 4.0, and when I put it back on, it became very loose where the slip yoke is. Now it makes a clunk noise every time take off and goes away within about 2 seconds. I have the same driveshaft as the one installed in this video. Any ideas on what could be the problem? Or if it can be just serviced or I just have to replace it completely? It didn't make any noise before the engine rebuilt. I put grease in it, also replaced bad u-joints and still making the clunk noise.

So I have a question I'm thinking of installing a 4.5 inch lift and would like to know if I have to install a t case drop because I was just gonna do an sye and dont want to do a drop aswell
Hi, I have a off topic question regarding a 96 ZJ 5.2. I want to replace my transmission lines from the transmission to the cooler, I already have factory [ebay] replacement lines and see that the trans. side has the so-called quick disconnect fittings but they aren't the same as say the fuel filter as they don't compress though there are tabs, the plastic is 360 degrees so I can see how it would compress like the fuel filter. I am replacing due to rust but not leaking yet. I think I could try to turn the fitting where the quick disc. and line live but I still would need to get the plastic fitting out for reassembly
Any ideas?

good one, thanks...
How's everyone feel about those hack n tap SYE kits? Seems like a reasonable install but wonder how they hold up.
I've subscribed to the rough country channel
Does this shaft use regular u joints or do I need to order special u joints for it? About to pull one out of an XJ at the junkyard
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ sitting on 37’s with a automatic transmission trail rig what gears should I run
I subscribed to the rough country channel
do you need a SYE on a 2010 JKU for this RC DS
The grease on his forehead made me laugh!
good for you
@@adamspitzer5113 Just a comment, not a dick. You don't have to take it so hard.
I'm alredy a subscriber to both
I did my subscription to rough country and your channel to
I'm curious to know if there is a double cardan conversion kit for a stock 1977 cj5? I've looked around but haven't come across one specifically for them. Possibly overlooking them..?
What's up brother just letting you know that we subscribed to the rough country TH-cam channel!!!!!! God knows with three kids at the house I'm going to need a gift card hahaha
Hey I have a question about my double Cardan CV Ball Kit I replaced it but it still makes noise like it's sticking
Is there suppose to be a small hole on the front of the driveshaft where it mounts to differential and behind the u joint. When I slide it up and down grease comes out of the hole.
great vid! ive subd
What is the minimum clearance on the slip portion of the driveshaft. I just did this install and only have 3/4” gap at ride height.

hello... i jus have one question! can a 1986 jeep cherokee parts fit on a 1998 stock xj... primarily the front drive shaft and differential. do they use the same transfer case??? or that doesnt matter??? help please. im all the way from Belize, in the caribbean!
Most likely the answer is no. The 86 model is much older than the 98. They changed a lot in their model parts after 95
Where is the balancing weight on that shaft? Mine doesn't have one and its custom.
Subscribed to rough country! Also, what are your thoughts on doing an axle swap from the 35 to something stronger? What would you recommend?
I just swapped my 35 to a Chrysler 8.25 it's pretty much a Dana 44
I have subscribed to rough country
Matt, I think you might be at least 95% of the reason I'm capable of working on my own 99 xj. Please keep doing what you're doing!
Also I just subscribed to rough country.
ALSO also I have a question. I will be replacing my rear drive shaft soon and my TC needs to be pulled apart and resealed. Since ill be down there is there any reason I should consider an SYE if I'm going with an OME 2" lift in the future? I know it isn't necessary but I'm curious what you have to say.
***** If youre planning on going bigger, which you will eventually i would go ahead and slap one in there while youre there.
I got a 99 xj classic and I just want a modest 2-3 inch lift and also was wondering about getting a sye and double cardain drive shaft. Great question for the guys who are doing modest lifts.
Is there a solution on the rear drive shaft to fix the drive shaft angle on a 4" lift (mine) without going to a SYE? A different type of drive shaft that can bolt right on to the stock set up? At the moment I have vibration. Under the new lift springs, there is a 1/4 inch wedge tipping my axle forward. The rear input and drive shaft are in a perfect line which I realize they should not. To push that down and fwd so it is flat just like the the output from the transfer case, I need a much larger wedge put in there I would assume. Perhaps that is the fix? Looking to keep costs down as I do not have tools or space to do this myself and cost from a shop is well over a thousand dollars.
Unfortunately the SYE kit is the best solution for jeeps over 3” look into the hack and tap kits and a good junk yard front shaft for the rear
One question, I have a 3.5 inch lift SYE on the jeep when I bought it, it also has a transfer case drop, should it have the t case drop if it has this set up, I get vibration at around 70 km
probably not if you have an SYE... the more important issue is this: th-cam.com/video/5QQN52Vmllw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the enjoyable and instructable videos.
You should work as a teacher. Students would love you.
I'm having problems with my Jeep really difficult to turn left and only left... Already eliminated that it could the power steering n stuff we addressed that did a flush n so on. So could it be the power steering gear box??
That would be my guess, I have a video on removing it and one on rebuilding it.
Does it need a dust boot?
My '68 t-bird came with this (factory) on BOTH ends. I was wondering, doesn't all this extra weight rob performance? There's no extreme angle in the car of course, they just did this back in the day for increased ride comfort, right, just to make things as smooth as they can get it but in such a large heavy car, there's no way I'd ever notice if a normal driveshaft were installed. My question is, doesn't it make sense to have a normal driveshaft installed to ditch some weight and rotating mass, since it was overkill, back when gas was dirt cheap?
Where did you get drive shaft from
could you do a video on the different greases?
Richard Cowtails I'll put it on the list!
thank you. I'm new to greases. I'm sure that would help a lot of people
When i put in the Jeep Xj Rear CV Drive Shaft do i also need to put in the slip yoke eliminator as well?
+keola lee yes, both at the same time
hello I have a project jeep Cherokee sport 1995 I want to modify it where it works very well off road and on road. do you have any ideas
watch bleeinjeep on youtube
Just replaced the rear axle from a dana 35 to an chrysler 8.25. At exactly 36 to 38 mph I feel a little vibration. As if something is not in a harmonic state. Below or after that it's fine. Any thoughts. I have not retightened the ubolts yet, going to tom, maybe that's it.
SuperDagod1 dunno, did you put the driveshaft back the way it was? is the length correct? was the 8.25 good to begin with?

Hi Matt, I subscribed to RC.
subscribed to you and RC
is that not a front driveshaft? just asking
thanks
Will this work with the slip eliminator? What will happen if you don’t get it?
It only works with a SYE
What lift does this Cherokee have (that you're installing the drive shaft on)? 6"? 4/4.5"? (Sorry I'm not scrolling through to see if someone else asked before).
6 i think
Matt, just finished installing my rough country 4.5" long arm lift and it feels like the drive shaft isn't turning correctly or rubbing. Any ideas??
make sure your pinion angles are set up correctly
Looks like my u joint at the t-case is rubbing. I'm going to drop the leaf to the bottom hole on the shackle and hopefully that gives me the angle I need. Any ideas to improve the angle on the rear if that doesn't give me enough angle?
I was thinking of another project for myself on my jeep. I was thinking about front and rear drive shafts. How much better are these compared to stock. I don't have a lift. Will I notice an improvement in anything?
+SuperDagod1 no, no reason to fix something that ain't broke (or lifted)
BleepinJeep Both of my drive shafts are working just fine. should I replace the u joints at least. how many miles can those u joints get on them?
I subscribed to rough country
The shaft pooped on your forehead Matt. 🤣
I subbed to rough country
+BleepinJeep what would happen if you didn't install a SYE and this driveshaft with a 4.5 lift?
jorysiler your driveshaft will keep falling off and you will need new u joints every time
A lot of vibration and repairs
