I currently have a Rubicon Express 3.5 inch lift on my 2013 2 door. For obvious reasons, the driveshafts need to be replaced , I was leaning towards Adam's driveshafts, but from what I have read they don't come with new front yokes and you reuse the stock one (correct me if I am wrong). Now I am leaning towards Tatton's driveshafts.

I figured I better replace the control arms as well to adjust the caster and pinion angles and hopefully prevent any driveshaft vibes (If I would of known this before deciding on a lift, I would of purchased them with the lift , live and learn I guess.) I was planning on purchasing all 8 but all the sets are slightly out of budget (except the Rough Country X Flex set, opinions and reviews on them would be great). So I guess my question is will I notice a difference between having all 8 compared to just the lower front and upper rears?


I have read every post on this forum and I am still confused. Any input/recommendations on driveshafts and control arms would be great to help me decide. Maybe a vendor can offer me a crazy deal on all of it that I just can't refuse

 

you'll have much better flex with all 8 arms. I'm really happy using Rock Krawler and Currie arms.

 

I replaced my front drive shaft with a Coast and have been very happy with it. I have the front and rear RK lower control arms. If you replace the rear drive shaft, you will need the rear upper control arms to adjust the pinion angle.

 

I run Tereflex driveshafts and metal cloak arms. Watch this video

Thats a great video! Now if only I could get a great deal on them. Definitely out of my budget otherwise.

 

I can understand that. I didn't buy all eight at once. I started with the front lowers and rear uppers.

If you have factory drive shafts on a 3" lift, is it okay to change out just the front and rear lowers? I thought you didn't need to change out the uppers unless you had after market shafts.

 

Since you wouldn't need to adjust your pinion angle you would be correct.
