Get the yoke style not flange style driveshaft.

Get it installed properly checking for bearing pre-load. Easy to do yourself, you need both a click style torque wrench that can go up to 200 ftlb and needle style torque wrench. Make sure you read the instructions before taking your old yokes off or its too late haha!

Ok, I'm confused now. Are ya'll telling me not to get the Tom Woods drive shaft? I've seen many others on this board with Tom Woods drive shafts and they are very happy with it. Why would my setup not work, once I get the caster and pinion angle corrected???

Not at all, tom woods is awesome. So is JE Reel. I have coast cuz northridge had it and i was happy with the price. Just make sure its yoke style not flange stlye is all im recommending. Most driveshaft suppliers probably offer both yoke and flange.

Get this... (regardless of brand) notice they come with yokes


Dont get this (notice just flanges that would bolt onto your jk stock flanges)
