My brain hurts.

 

I'm only 17 man I don't know this stuff yet I just started getting into all this lift stuff last year. But can i still run the stock driveshaft at least for a little while?

 

Ha, you remind me of me 3 years ago when I got my first Jeep, except I was 29. The 4.5x series comes with everything, except drop Pitman arm. Beware if you get the full leaf pack. You have a D30 in the front. Your 8.25 in the rear is great to handle the 33"tires. Build that, unless you come across a D44 cheap. Then it would be a good upgrade.

 

You can, but not recommended. Cheap way out is a hack n tap from IRO. And install a front shaft in the rear.

 

Idk man it looked exactly like that one picture so I'm just going off that nvm it's a Dana 30-__-

 

All this stuff is complicated as hell!! So if the 8.25 in the rear is good then why change it? I might be able to find a Dana 44 in a junk yard cause where I live it's every single 4x4 vehicle is lifted.

 

Because there is always something better! ;-) at the time I found a 44, that's what I went with. On here, it's seems they're hard finds compared to 8.25. 44's came on some early Cherokees, so few out there. A lot of guys swear by 8.25. Research, research, make some time and research some more! I regret not researching when I first started. Now I'm kinda starting all over, but doing it right with quality parts.

 

Yeah that's true I heard the 44 came on the Cherokees with the trailer hitch but idk they shoulda put the 44 in all of them! woulda saved us a lot of money! And the driveshaft... Do I just need a new stock one or what?

 

JY shaft that's good or craigslist? Where you at?

 

44 in each one would have been to easy!

 

What the hell is JY?!? And I'm in Sparks, Nevada

 

Woulda been easier for me anyway (money wise) hahah

 

Check craigslist. Down here in So Cali there's a shaft for sale at least once a month. Got mine in great condition for $25. Hack n tap from IRO is $99.

 

Hack n tap is a site I guess?

 

Nvm it's a brand I guess from what I've seen
