I seem to be rebuilding mine (cv & slip yope of the DS) once a year (front and rear). I use my truck as a daily driver and I try go go wheeling as much as I can (2 to 3 week-ends a month). I got mine rebuilt at DSI and it costs me about $180. It was a DSI custom shaft. They do give good deals if they fix their own product (it make sence  :roll: ).

It all depend how you wheel and what kind of trail you use. You can change it every 6 months or even every time you go out (if you have a powerful engine).

I hope that helps...

Cheers

Pls correct me if i'm wrong.....the SYE is about 250-300 depending of which kind you buy. Since the XJs have along driveshafts so you don't need a super short SYE. Your DS angles should still be ok with a longer SYE. It's another story for the TJs.

if you go with a SYE you won't have to drop your T-case. You will have a bit more clearance. I have a 6" lift now with an advance adaptor SYE and I have not drop my t-case. I have no vibration in the DS what so ever.

I am currently looking into one for my YJ and the SYE kit is actually about 350-450 depending on where it is the standard or super short.  A DSI CV shaft will be about $550-600

I got my YJ SYE kit from PORC for way less than that Scott. Here, check this link out:

That is about what they are selling for in town here.  I know National is selling the std for $350 and Hoyboyz is selling the Super Short for $400
