I was browsing the 4wd.com website when I saw that they now have ProComp front and rear driveshafts available for JK's with 0-4" lift. And from looking at the pictures, it seems they are not a double cardan style like other shafts are.

This is from their website: The factory driveshaft ball and cage design joint is replaced with #1310 style u-joints to allow for a stronger engagement, increase the range of motion, and improve seal and driveline life. Exclusive yokes, not flange adapters, are used to allow for a longer driveshaft, unlike our competitors versions. Pro Comp Suspension rear driveshaft’s are constructed from 3.00”x 0.095” DOM (drawn-over-mandrel) steel. Kits come complete with necessary mounting hardware.

Now I know ProComp isn't the most popular brand out their, but would there be any benefit with going with their single cardan style shaft over a double cardan shaft?

 

It's fine if you don't plan to run a lift of any significance.

Basically any lift of 3" or more would require a cv shaft. Just be sure you don't want to go up.

 

So they would be fine with a 2.5" lift?

 

Call Woods or Coast or Reel and have them build you a single cardan ds if that is what you want.

 

I'm just wondering what makes a double cardan more beneficial then a single cardan? Every time I read a post about someone blowing apart a transfer case, they have a double cardan driveshaft.

 

Anyone have a ProComp driveshaft?

 

I don't think I would buy a Procomp DS when there are other more reputable drive shaft manufacturer's out there like Tom Woods or Coast.
