hey guys i really wanna order this kit..its the Skyjacker 3.5" Suspension System with Lower Arms with 35" MT ATZ and i was wondering DO i need driveshafts !? in the area that i live in we really dont do any flexing so mainly its road use and little offroading..i got a 2dr x with manual trans.


so again DO i need driveshafts for this kit !?

 

You may end up needing a rear DS soon because of the driveline angle. Since you have a manual, frt should be ok for a good while.

 

From FAQ
Q: Are new driveshafts needed after installing a lift?
A: You really should consider installing a new rear double cardin U-joint style drive shaft if you have lifted your Jeep JK Wrangler 3" or more and have a 2-door. This is needed because the short rear drive shaft of the 2-doors will be at a steep enough angle that the CV boots will wear out prematurely. However, in order to do this, you will need to buy a set of rear adjustable upper control arms so that you can properly set your pinion angle. 4-Door Unlimited models do not have this problem as their rear drive shafts are very long and a lift will not effect the angle of it too much. As far as the front goes, if you have an automatic transmission, you will need to replace the drive shaft with a double cardin U-joint style unit as well as the diameter of aftermarket shafts will be considerably narrower and will not come into contact with the transmission and/or skid plate. Failure to do this will result in the tearing of the factory drive shaft boot as it makes contact with the transmission. Manual transmissions will not have this problem and keeping the factory front drive shaft will not be a problem.

 

so yes or no !? like i mentioned above..we rarely go offroading and if yes what do i need exactly ? can anybody write what do i need exactly in a list cause im kinda out off clue about the driveshafts :S

 

The rear is gonna wear out quickly, on or off-road, hell, order the kit and see how it goes.

 

Does that kit have Lowers frt and rear?Are they adjustable? I wouldn't be in a rush to get a kit if you haven't done research on it and others, might wanna sit back and think on it awhile.

The arms are not Adj, several people on here have had probs with there frt and rear track bar brackets. You wouldn't be able to set your pinion angle for an aftermarket shaft with those arms, plus your castor is gonna be set at whatever those frt arms have. Up to you, but I'd look at other kits before jumping on something like that.

 

Just say NO to skyjacker!
