If had time to read each and every post in reference to my questions I wouldnt ask.

Just consolidating time and trying to make the right choice through others experience.

Browsing through other folks threads on driveshafts, you'll see that most are happy with Tom Woods. Some people had problems. Most are happy with JE Reel. Some had problems. Most are happy with Coast, some had problems. Very cut and dry there, huh.
Another suggestion that is made regularly is to have a local shop custom build, it's cheaper and they will install and warranty...

what woud upper and rear control arms do for the ride?
5+ inches of lift on stock CA's? Hmm

How does it handle? Flighty? Bumpsteer? Somewhat hard to control? Guess what control arms will do for ya...

Well asshat actually, I am busy enough to not be able to read everything, some folks are cool enough to just answer the quetsions a fellow Jk'er has.

AS for lazy, lol, far from it.

I do have front lower control arms, it drives great. I do not fight any bumpsteer and very happy with ride. The local shop was trying to sell me rear control arms upper and lower with driveshaft.

As already stated rear uppers will allow you to adjust your pinion angle. A combination of rear uppers and lowers (depending on the brand) will allow you to not only adjust your pinion angle but to recenter your wheel in the wheel well (the farther down you push stock arms the farther foreward the axle moves).


N8Kern,
The question you asked was very common, it gets asked several times a day and answered several times a day (that and "will rubi tires fit on my x/sahara?"). That being said, at the risk of pissing you off (which is not my intent at all) i did a quick search using the search function and found several relevant answers with about 45 seconds. No one is saying your question is a joke, and most here are willing to help, but using the tools at your disposal is important. I apologise for some of the more rude members and after searching if you have anymore questions and dont feel comfortable posting them feel free to PM me and I will be happy to help you out.
