Anyone had experience with this? I'm new to JKs but I know a lot about YJs. I know this will fit 37s. I know for sure that I would need cv shafts front and rear but where is a good place to get them? Tom Woods? I ask this question because for Rubicon Express, they have the shafts already made but Currie doesn't have the shafts made yet so I'm soo confused. Thanks

No need to be confused. Not every company that offers lifts offers DS too. And those that do just have them made for them. You'd be fine going with Tom Woods or JE Reel.

As to the lift: I have the RE 3.5 SR lift. It was a good value for the money and has done a real good job. However (isn't there always a however) if I were to do it again I would go with Currie or Clayton. I think they are the two best standard arm length lifts out there. As far as long arm kits there isn't a long arm kit out there that I like enough to buy.

Can I use the currie system with RE cv front and rear shafts?

chuck45

I don't see any reason why not. The only real variable is lift height. A higher lift means you need a slightly longer DS. If the RE was set up for their 4.5 LA kit I'm sure it would work on the Currie. Check out Tom Woods too.

Yes. The Rubicon Express shafts are rebranded J.E. Reel shafts IIRC.

Sweet thanks guys

Talked to Currie myself. They say that you do not have to go to custom driveshafts. I have read elsewhere on this forum that you may get some rub on the front shaft in full extension though. I plan on putting this kit on in the next month and will repost.

You may not HAVE to; but perhaps you SHOULD.
