Yeah, I see the gap in the picture. Looks to be a key spline slot or something?? I dunno. The thing to do if you really want to know is take off your rear DS and see if that puppy will slide on. The thing is, you have to solidly attach that yoke to the rear tcase output and get a DS with the slip in the middle of it, or else you have done all that work to end up with the same thing you started with. The thing you are trying to eliminate with the SYE is the yoke that currently slides back and forth on the output of your T-case right now, in stock form. If you look at your rear DS, its a solid piece from the rear pinion yoke to the u joint at the slip yoke. A SYE eliminates that slip yoke, and puts the slipping portion in the MIDDLE of the rear drive shaft. (look at page 8 for pics of this) On a lifted jeep this will reduce internal Tcase output bearing wear, and make for better driveline angles, etc, etc. Ive read this thread a bunch, and for some reason feel like its not possible to do with a yoke like you pictured or theres some little technicality. Your idea about running a Ujoint style shaft is ok, but something about that yoke wont work I dont think....HELP US GUYS!!!
And look at post 245 and answer me!!! ha ha...j/k. But for real...
