in all honesty, drive shafts are pretty much drive shafts. the only real difference between one from the next is in the components used. i have been helping folks online well before there was a JK and i can tell you that over the last 15 years or so, i have seen some components work better than others and when it comes to drive shafts, spicer joints are what you want. some drive shaft companies use cheap no name joints and time and time again, i have heard and seen how they crapped out and have people tell me that they should have listed to me. please note, spicer is NOT a sponsor here, i'm just trying to save you the trouble of making a simple mistake. as far as control arms go, you can go wrong with just about any of the sponsors we have here including full-traction, teraflex, jks, etc.

I was thinking about teraflex control arms but I have a hook up at ICON and might be able to get a set of those for a pretty good price. Have you heard anything about the ICON lift for Jeeps? I heard it was pretty good but expensive. I had their coil overs and UCAs for my Tundra and it was awesome.
