So I Jus got done reading some older threads an they were talking about some ds that come with adapter pieces an others coming with new yokes.

The ones with the adapters will bolt directly onto your JK. The ones with the yokes , you will need to put these yokes in your transfer case and differentials. I was told you want to go with the yokes to avoid driveshaft vibrations. I just ordered a set of Coast shafts from Northridge.

So how hard is it to install new yokes? An is there anything I can throw out of adjustment or screw up?

Down in the write-ups area, there is an index at the top.

The adapters move the mounting points further out (away from the pinion and tcase outputs) which creates steeper shaft angles and more opportunity for vibes. New yokes are considered to be the better option.

Thanks for all the info on ds an the write up area. Do all coast ds come with replacement yokes?

I couldn't find the yoke style shafts on Coasts website. All I could find were the ones with the adapter shafts. Going off of Eddies write-up, and the picture on Norhtridge website, I'm assuming what I have coming has the yokes.

Keep me updated. It's hard to beat the price of a coast ds.
