I had another question about rustys 6.5 LA kit

would a hack N tap and front driveshaft off Auto xj work, are do I have to go with aftermarket DS and SYE?

You cant go wrong with the 5150 shocks, I will most likely upgrade to these shocks when I do my LA suspension.

I got rustys 6.5 lift and a set of skyjacker nitro 8000 for like $40 bucks a piece and they seem to work just fine so far. When i got it it was already lifted with no front driveshaft my buddy had a front cv driveshaft out of a zj it measured out a couple inches longer than a stock front xj driveshaft. So i put it on and it fit and seems to work good so far but i havn't flexed it out real good yet though. Just wondering if anybody else has tried it for a longer driveshaft alterative.
