Drive Shaft Swap
 

Is this easy to do on a 2012? Or better to have shop do it?

Search stock to rock on you tube and watch him do it.. See if you think you can...

Make sure to preload the pinion and have rear upper adjustable to adjust the pinion angle.

Doesn't look that hard to do. Any recommendations of good driveshaft?

I've always heard JE Reel, Coast and Tom Woods. Northridge is having a sale on either Reel or Coast right now.

Thanks for the info,I'll check into them now

I really like Jim at JE Reel his customer service was great, he really took the time to help answer any questions I had.

Font or rear?

The front is a piece of cake. Many have followed this write up inclucing myself. Project-JK.com - Jeep JK Wrangler Resource » Jeep JK Wrangler Coast Front 1310 Drive Shaft Installation Write-Up

Still running stock rear on my 2012 so I could not tell you from first hand experience how hard/easy it is. Regardless, I'd still do it myself.

Went with JE Reel myself.

Reason for questions that I have been getting an odd noise from the drive shaft area. I put a 3inch lift and 35s. I have a 2012 and I e been told that maybe stock shaft is not good with that set up.

I did it on my 2012 a few weeks ago in my driveway by myself took me 1.5 hrs piece of cake.
