I have a 2dr with 4" of lift on 35in tires. My rear drive shaft failed today (lucky me the dealership is going to warrent it and replace it at no charge to me) I know it should be replaced now but I'm having trouble finding the DS i need. I should also add that I dont know much about this so the more details I can get the better. If somebody can hook me up with this info I would greatly appreciate it.

{I read all the threads I could find but I guess I over looked something}

 

Bummer but not surprising with a 2dr and 4" of lift.

Give David @ Northridge 4x4 a call.

^^ see he's on his A game ^^

 

The dealership is warrantying it and letting you get an aftermarket ds? That dealer is a keeper!

Northridge is the way to go.

 

The dealer will replace it with another 'stock' shaft. When you get tired of having them replaced, or when the dealer gets tired of covering the cost, look into an aftermarket shaft.

Coast (David already mentioned them.)
Tom Woods (go browse his website even if you buy another brand, lots of great info)
JE Reel
Tatton
TeraFlex
etc...

Expect to pay $450-$500 or so. And you will be better off with new flanges, instead of a direct replacement with the adapter plates.
You will also need rear upper adjustable control arms for an aftermarket shaft. (Wasn't sure which of the 8 arms "all four control arms." referred to)

 

Tom Wood's Drive Shafts all the way.

 

Thanks guys for the info, gonna check that out tomorrow. Already have the adjustable control arms, what angle should the rear be set too?

 

JK area, and then Tech info area
