When I installed my Fabtech 3" with 33s, they highly recomended a stronger drive shaft. I havent seen an aftermarket yet....

great thanks guys. Started the post with an apology due to not trying to be redundant and thinking someone has been asking this question for a bit.

Hey Zach, Im in kennesaw, Ga. Let me know if you know of any decent trails (moderate) once my Jeep is done. I was going to race at Barbers in Aug., but now have a race in Germany that weekend.

WOuld be cool to get some JK'ers together sometime.

yup. JE Reels where I ordered mine from.

If you have a 2 door, I'm betting you'll need them with a 3" or higher lift, that pinion angles very steep. Mine just went bad after about 7,000 miles on the lift.
