NP241 slip yoke eliminator kit

[Blue90]

I'm thinking of installing the slip yoke eliminator kit on my blazer mostly because I'm sick of replacing that same seal every other month. any who... Is there really a down side to installing this kit?
P.S. I drive this blazer every day on the highway. Would there be any issues there?

I'm planning on installing one on the 241 I'm swaping in. The only downside I see is buying a new driveshaft on top of the cost of the SYE kit. You also have to buy a yoke and machine it if you don't want to use the 1310 that comes with it.

My plan is to install the 241, take measurments for the driveshaft, then put the 208 back in while I'm waiting for the driveshaft and/or available funds to buy the driveshaft.

Its worth it! No leaks, less vibes. You will need a new rear driveline.
Mine didnt come with a yoke. I did have six states machine a 1/4inch off of the 1350 yoke I went with. They give you all the part #'s for each style yoke in the instructions.
If you need help, PM me, Im not too far from you.

My truck is much smoother since I installed it. I used a CV shaft from Tom Woods and have been very happy with the outcome. I was able to raise my T-Case back up to stock after doing the SYE as well.

Oh really, so with the SYE and the new drive line is there really a point to having your t case dropped?

The only reason that you'd want to drop it down would be to make room for clocking or a driveline brake. Because of the CV shaft, raising it back up and aiming the pinion to the same angle as the t-case made it run the smoothest. If you don't run a CV shaft, you might want to leave it down as that might help with the driveline geometry.

I dont run a CV. My t-case is clocked flat and pushed up.

I think a fixed yoke on both ends will be fine. Then you put the slip at the axle for more clearance.
