what is this is it a slip yoke kit if so any body no what kind it is

Looks like a stock slip yoke to me.

now if i wanted to go to a bigger lift would this need to be changed

Err..... Yup....

Unless you like short u-joint life and massive driveline vibrations.... :p

Why does it have that big metal disc at the T/C? My 6cyl 03 TJ doesn't have that.:confused:

It is vibration damper some have it some dont.

It's not exactly a slip yoke "Kit". It is the slip yoke that came on your rig new. Looks like the drive line angle is already getting a little tight.

A slip yoke eliminator will replace that part of the shaft. Then you would have a yoke on the transfer case like the one on the differential. This along with a shorter output shaft from the transfer case will lengthen the dive line and lessen the angle. Add to that a CV joint (2 ujoints together) and these 2 ujoints divide the angle in half.

Does that help?

Since you mentioned it, how much is too much? Is there a general rule as to how much of an angle the factory setup can handle?

[Fire Ball]

The biggest concern is drive shaft speed. For our rigs it is about 3 - 6 degrees depending on the normal operating speed of the drive shaft.

Also longer shafts can tolerate a greater angle since deflections in the suspension translate into smaller angle changes. As shorter shaft will have greater changes in drive line angle as the suspension flexes. Beyond these angles you could start to experience drive line vibrations and/or u joint failure, transmission troubles or differential failure. Tthe higher the speed the straighter you want the drive shaft angles.

You can divide the drive shaft length in inches by five to find the maximum shaft angle. If you have a 15 in drive shaft, divided by 5 = 3 degrees. This would be the maximum allowable drive line angle. Multiple segment shafts are a different story.

I don't know for sure where these numbers came from but it is what I have always used.

Hey

Your already using photobucket. Use the link that starts with . That way your pics will display in the forum and we don't have to follow your link.
