My thinking is that because the vehicle already had 80,000 miles on the driveline when it was lifted, all still original parts including U-joints and slip joint, that dropping the rear by the few inches involved puts the slip joint at the far edge of its original wear pattern (static relationship now about equal to what would have been full droop), and that the splines on the output and slip joint no longer like each other because of the uneven wear in that zone. I could lift the slip joint an eighth of an inch with little to no resistance, and if I shook it up and down gently, it gave out a noise that could be heard from 10 feet away. Figured if I could do that with my fingers, at driving speeds it would sound like a growl. Any bind at all in the drive shaft would cause the slip joint to dance, and it won't last long that way at best.
I have heard that the JB Conversions SYE is pretty good. Any feedback?
Right Stuff is one of the best inventions in the past century. Used on clean joints, I have yet to see it leak.
