Driveshaft help
 
Hey, I'm new to this thing but I need help. I have a 2010 jk with a skyjacker 5.5 lift and I think I need a different drive shaft, like a longer one, is there anyone who can give me some advice on this matter?

Yeah you definently need a new drive shafts, I believe you need a 1310 driveshaft, check out northridge 4x4. They've got tons of options and all the info you'll need

Try Adams Driveshaft. Awesome sales and service. Best prices around. They will ask a few questions about your rig and make what ever you need for the setup you have.

awesome, thanks alot guys, I reviewed the adams drive shafts and I saw that they are cv shafts. Does that mean I'm going to need something extra to be able to adjust the diff angle.

Your differential or "pinion angle" is adjusted by your control arms. I'm assuming that at 5.5 inches of lift that you have adjustable control arms. As far as the driveshafts go, you are going to swap out the yokes and bolt in the new shaft. Pretty basic.

Even if you choose another brand, take some time to read through this site. There is some great info here.

There are also a couple writeups showing how to swap the yoke/flange for the new shaft up in the writeups area. An index is at the top.

Absolutely! Also, don't be afraid to call and ask a bunch of stupid questions. Those guys are great!
