Dang 25th seems to be winning. Hoping to wheel sooner than that but I'm on board with whatever everyone else decides.

Nate I can't wait until it warms up either but thats so I can pull the doors, snow doesn't bother me yet because I havn't delt with it :bleh:

im prolly good for any date, just ordered my brake lines and the only other thing I prolly should add is a rear drive shaft.

Did you ever get around to putting the front on? :bleh:

Jim, what size bumpstops are you running? And did you get the longer shocks?

nope still walk past it everyday when I leave the house :doh: Trying to decide for the rear to go 1310 or 1350 which I know is reccomended but kinda expensive at around 700

No idea on bumps, its whatever came with the teraflex 2.5" kit. Did get the longer fronts, but passed on the rears since I have the evo rockstar skids that still need to be installed.

I would think the front would be more of an issue than the rear.

I would just bite the bullet and go with 1350's. If I was in a jam and needed a driveshaft now with whatever money I had then I may go with s 1310 just to get myself moving agian.

Jim, you could do a je reel heavy duty 1310, this would give you more strength than an oem 1310 and be the weak point in your system which is the easiest and cheapest fix ($59 u-joint). & $449.

I think thats what Ill do, my front 131o I guess is heavy duty as well since its not the oem flange style. Just need to find a shop to install it once i get the rear, or just find a garage to work in thats warm. I am light on the gas all the time so Im not worried about breaking one. I can always upgrade them later on if needed.

I'd be game for that.:rock:

By "that" I mean a weekend in January. Sounds like a plan.....

If you're interested I have a heated garage and we're doing a lift ds and brake lines on sat, sun is open if you want to come down to Balt.

It would all depend on when I can actually get a rear shaft first. Id say ill take you up on the offer but northridge doesn't usually ship anything fast like they keep advertising.

1/4/14 would be perfect for me!

Are the JK drive shafts really a weak point in the drivetrain? Mine are both stock and have never seen anybody twist one off.

How much is it to upgrade?
