Hey guys let me know who you guys went with for your choice of driveshafts and what you think of them so far. I will be ordering some as soon as lift gets installed and I can measure for them!

I also run Adams F&R Drive Shafts in my Jeep. Really like them.

Have a local shop build them for you. A mistake most people make with the JKU is you don't need a Double Cardan joint on the rear. It is long enough that the joint does not bind and you end up dropping about $100 for something you don't need that is a pita to maintain.

please educate me, I've never seen anyone run a single U Joint on each end on a aftermarket DS on a lifted JKU.

Thats because everyone gets on a forum and asks which is best instead of actually leaning about how stuff works.
