But, now seeing his rear problems I'm wondering about the rear now too. Again.. I had heard of some people having gas tank rubbing issues... but it's only the skid plate back there and only when flexed out... so maybe we can live with that one.
Are you talking 2 door or 4 door. I have TONS of room under there for driveshafts.

1350's are HUGE. The 1330 is a lot bigger than a 1310 but not as big as a 1350 and much more flexible too. Really don't know why they make the 1310's and not 1330's. 05-06 TJ Rubi's used 1330's in the front shaft from the factory. Matter of fact the Stock Rubi U-Joint Yoke fits in our JK's.

That is very interesting. Does it bolt to the flange or do you need to install spline output shafts?

The Yoke would replace your flange yoke.

Default FINALLY!!! Pulled the trigger on the 4" Superlift

So I finally bought the 4" Superlift for my 2dr X, 6 speed. Need to wait a little on tires and rims, but in the meantime, what other parts should I get? Maybe some of these questions have been answered elsewhere, but I get lost all the time in this Forum LOL

I'm thinking front lower arms...anything else?

Does the kit come with swaybar discos? a rear tracbar bracket or should I get an adj rear tracbar?

Do I need bumpstops?

Can I drive this lift with 35s for a while without going off road before i replace the driveshafts or is this necessary form the start?

No sway bar disco's included. You can still Disco you will just need to 18mm wrenches. There is a new rear track bar bracket from Superlift. If it's not in your kit. Just call them. I would recomend the adjustable rear track bar. They still recomend the use of the track bar bracket with the adjustable bar. Mine is at max rear adjustment without the bracket and my tire is just a hair to passangers side. As soon as one of those new rear brackets show up I'll decide wether or not to use it. The kit includes bumpstops.

stock driveshaft in the front will rub the auto tranny if you wheel it disco'd your front one will hit the tranny pan. And it will most likely wear out quickly. I don't know about the rear on a 2 door but, have heard that it needs to go pretty quick too. I have the stock rear on my 4 door still about 6 months and 6000 miles later. I wheel it hard.. .just not often. Maybe once a month. That will get better as the kids get older.

OK, if you look at the heim or swivel type end joint that is attached at the axle mount , the angle of the swivel joint to line up correctly will cause you to have one control arm swivel end zerk up and one down. If you look on the sponsoring vendor forum under teraflex control arms it explains it better.

Thanks for the info. If all I need is a 1/2 degree, will one full turn be enough or too much? I dont have a gauge.
