Default Coast Driveshaft question

Has anyone used the bolt on drive shaft instead of the 1310?

I personally dont like the adapter type driveshafts. I have seen the factory flanges with .020 runout on them add a spacer to it and a CV shaft and it will usually vibrate.

What driveshaft would you recommend for running 37" tires on a 4" lift?

dont be intimidated by installing new yokes. I went with the coast 1310 and had the old one off and the coast on in about 30 min. just remember to check what your specific torque setting is for the pinion nut on the axle and transfer case, no one will have the same exact one. by doing this first you will avoid over crushing the crush sleeve. (learned that the hard way)

That easy to do? I was wondering the same bc these driveshafts are next on the list. I'll be calling you shortly David!

yup that easy. i think most of the time i took was dicking around with my skid plate and the tiny pain in the ass bolts on the factory shaft at the transfer case.


oh yeah and dont forget to go rent a gear puller from an auto parts store like autozone or something. the flanges might be a little stuck on the so the puller will help get them of nice and easy.
