Hi guys, I'm looking to put in a slip yoke eliminator soon, and I'm hoping y'all can help with a few questions.
First of all, I know I can pay a bunch of money to get a custom driveshaft from Tom Woods or somewhere, but like everybody money is tight. It's my understanding that the manuals have different shaft lengths from the autos, so I can't just get another shaft just like my current front one and use it in the back. Is that correct? Is there a stock driveshaft (any Jeep) that will work in the rear with a full SYE and a 5-speed AX-15?
Second of all, there are several different SYE kits out there, just wondering what people's experiences are with the different ones. JB Conversions claims a lot of great stuff about their higher-clearance yoke, etc - is their kit really worth it? What about the AA kit? What's the difference in the AA kit and the Tom Woods super kit? I saw somewhere that AA makes most of the kits and they are just rebranded, like RR. Is that still the case?
Lastly, I see where Adams Driveshaft has some mega-deal on ebay for a SYE and a custom shaft. Has anybody bought this, and if so, how do you like it? Is Adams a good shop?
I tried to search but I couldn't find much especially on the manual shaft question. Sorry if I missed something obvious.
