    Which driveshaft do you recommend for an automatic 14 jku on 35s with 4" long arm lift?

    Was told yesterday I will need a new driveshaft and am finding many different options but not sure what I need and the prices vary quite a bit.

    Thanks.

    Personally, I would find a local Drive Shaft company, and see what they have to offer, Check local reviews. A firend and I did this with his Chevy, and ended up with a higher quality DS and at a lower price.

    Post this same question on a local Jeep club facebook page and see what you get locally. I have always use Tom Woods and have ordered 6 driveshafts from them for different jeeps I have built. I have not had one problem with a single shaft yet. They are very helpful over the phone and there prices have always been a little less than the others.

    I have Adam's on mine and just installed on the wife's, no issues except for shipping damage to the box that lost a yoke.

    BUT like chris4x4 and OFFGRID said, a local shop might be able to set you up just as good for a little less coin. I think next time I'll try to source local.
