Drive shaft help!
 
I just got me a 4" lift kit for my jk. I got some 37" tires. Now which drive shaft should I get first?? Front or rear?? What brand? Looking for a cheap price!! Thanks <3

I got coast drive shafts they where priced the best at the time and are great quality.

Depending on what you have 2 or 4 door

2 door you need to replace both drive shafts.

4 door you need to do the front at the very least, if you have the money do both

I hope that helps

Yep, fill in your info.

Depends on 'actual' height received, how you will use it (streets only, or out flexing in the rocks), 2 or 4 door, manual or auto, short or long-travel shocks, disconnected or hooked up, etc...

Too many variables to give a definite, but we can make some semi-educated guesses.

For brands, Tom Woods, JE Reel, Coast, Tatton, TeraFlex, etc. Start on Tom Woods website, lots of great info to read through.

And new flanges are preferable to adapter plates!!

since you have a 4-door and a stick, you shouldn't need either :)
