Another dumb driveshaft length
Hello everyone. 2 replacement axles arrived recently from dynatrac, a front replacement pr44 to replace the dreaded Dana 30 and a trail series 60. What a thing !!! It's nice to see them on the Internet but in reality the my look so much better.
Tech question: I ordered my TS60 with a pro rock 60 pumpkin and a 1350 yoke because I needed a tougher rear ds. For a rear "treat it as a prorock60" does the driveshaft needs to be shortened for a 2 door JK ? Or is there any direct replacement shaft ?

I would say when you remove the factory shaft take a measurement and then take the same measurement with the 60. If you are ordering a new one give Adam's a call. They will make one to fit your specific setup. They are more then willing to discuss your needs and make you exactly what you need.

The rear will be shorter due to the larger differential. You can simply measure the distance from the center of the shaft to the flange to find the difference. 1310 shafts are fine for a dana 60 unless you are running a V8 as the hp from the stocker motors is not enough to break them.
