I still have the stock shafts on my 2008 2 door 6 speed Rubicon. I've put ~30K miles on the AEV 3.5 with no issues, but I would like to hear what others have done.

That is one of the reasons I went with an AEV kit. I had bad death wobble
before instal and it feels great now. I finally have the courage again to
drive the jeep at 50 again.

What drive shafts are people putting in with the 3.5 lift?

Thanks
Death wobble hit only after I hit my stock tie rod hard on a trail in Colorado. It had nothing to do with my AEV lift.

I run the stock rear driveshaft and the new AEV front driveshaft. No vibes so far. The 5.38 gears go in soon. Right now I run stock gears.

When did AEV come out with a driveshaft? I didn't see it on their website.

Are you any of you running a 315x70R17 Goodyear Duratracs with your AEV 3.5's?

I've got the AEV premium with Superchips instead of the Pro Cal on Nitto Mug grapplers. I love it so far. It's been a few months since I installed it.
