Have a 2014 wrangler Sahara 6 speed with no lift yet. Flat fenders and 33's. Have a jump on a good deal for this drive shaft but for a 2007 through 2011. Question being will this 2007-11 work on my 2014. I called Adams and was told to measure and see if they are equal lengths, I know this is the best thing to do but anyone install these or know how much of a difference there is between the 2? Hoping it bolts right up.


Thank you
Bob

Dunno if this helps but a stock 2015 front shaft fit my 2010. I'd measure the old shaft but it's gone now with the new shaft working flawlessly.

You said no lift yet, which tells me that it's in the plans. I would recommend lifting it first and then measure for a driveshafts once you are at the height at which you plan on keeping the Jeep.

Since the Adams' are good for 0"-6" lifts, you basically just need to make sure the DS isn't too short for your stock setup. Probably best to just lift it first anyway since anything over 3" you're most likely going to have to get under there anyway to change the control arms.

Driveshaft will shorten when you lift on a short arm so make sure it is not too long, not too short.

With a 2.5in lift you probably will not need a driveshaft. I have a 2010 so I don't worry about the front exhaust clipping my driveshaft when flex. I maxed out my flex and checked the rezeppa's. Not rubbing so I'm still good to go. It was close though so I'll be keeping an eye on them.

I'm sure you would be as well.
