Default Finally lost front drive shaft.... :(
Well...after 24k miles stock + 40k miles on 2" BB + and 14k miles on 4" lift, the front drive shaft is kaput!

Both upper and lower boots are done fer.

Anyone have a lead on a CV style front shaft for a good price?

Thanks for offer Justin. Might as well do it right though. Not going any lower than current lift. James quoted a good price for CV.
