Default Front deive shaft JKU Auto
Hey Fellow Jeepers,

Does anyone know if a front drive shaft off of a 2012 JKU 6 speed will fit a 2007 JKU auto?

Thanks in advance for the help.

yes the driveshaft connects to the tcase and the tcase is in the same position regardless of the year.

it will be a slightly different length (longer) but, there should be enough slip to allow it to work.

I do have a 4 inch lift, so the length I wouldn't think to be an issue.

Thanks for the quick help. Always appreciated.

With a 2012 and any lift you should be looking for an aftermarket Driveshaft I have a 2.5" lift and need a DS you said you have a 4" lift so I bet your stock DS hits the exhaust with very little droop.

I have a 2007 JKU 4in short arm lift. This is the wife's jeep. I don't think she will be doing any kind of offroading. Her form of offroading is dirt roads. Every so often, I get to stretch it out a little. Nothing serious.
