Aftermarket drive shaft compatibility

[The BAD Influence]

My son and his father in law are trying to build a Jeep on a budget. Its a 2007 JKU. I donated my old 3.5 MetalCloak lift. They found a set of aftermarket 1310 drive lines for $600. Just wanted to confirm the lengths are the same for the 3.8 and 3.6. Both autos.
Thanks

You cannot just install a set of shafts on a lifted Jeep based on engine or even transmission/transfer case. You NEED to take a measurement from flange or yoke to yoke at ride height. Also, a 1310 would be a DOWNGRADE from the one u-joint that factory came with and that would be a 1330. They really should be looking at 1350s.

For $600, I'd go to a local driveline shop and get a quote from them.

Unless your awesome local guy retired and sold the business to a newbie that has been trying to get it right for nearly two months.

I second this.
