The Mud Pit > Wrenching
Vibration when I hit the gas pedal...
calvynandhobbs:
My 98 TJ sport had a 1" MML and a SYE with Tom Woods driveshaft for the 4" lift to keep the angles correct. I think I remember you having a 4" lift in your TJ. Did you do anything for your driveshaft angles with that lift (t-case drop, etc.)? If not, I'm surprised you didn't have problems already.
Coqui:
Yes, RCA 4" n2.0 lift kit came w/TC drop....nothing else to adjust DSline. Any suggestions on MML?

It would fix your binding issues, and the fittings are on the caps so you would never have to pull the shafts again. Just grease and go. They are $60 each but it will be the last joint you buy for a while.

not really concidering how often i go through u joint straps i break at least one in weekend of hard wheeling i would be fine if i could use ubolts on the tcase end but i have no room to get a wrench behind the yoke unless i pull the tcase skid life would be a lot better if i would add a 1" tcase drop but i would lose an 1" of clearance and i like not ever dragging my belly and my fix is better than super flex joint i am just going to install a hp d60 and remove the lp d44 and that will reduce my ds angles enough and add some 1350 joints i will be good (yes i know 1350 has less of an operating angle but i will be running lees droop and more up travle to even it out)

hard wheeling (not me the camera ran out of memory but i ran it right after this run and i took pretty much the same line)

I have JKS and they seem to be very well made. With 4.5 RE lift I have MML, SYE, and Tom Woods driveshaft.

Sounds like a good plan. I run 1350's on my hp D60 and have 18* on my drive shaft and 5* caster. I went to 1350 yokes on both the ds and pinion and have a ton of clearance (angle wise). I have more clearance with the 1350's than with the stock 1330's that I snapped almost every time i wheeled hard. I havent broken anything since the switch and run a 1350 superflex to give it even more clearance. You shouldnt have any issues with operating angle but if you do rotate the knuckles before you install the axle. Just dont go below 3* positive.
