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?

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.

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.
