Default 1350 rear driveshaft 2dr JK Ruicon

In another thread a fellow member of the forum mentioned :"It is worth noting that with the right rear corner up on a rock (swb) the bolt flanges on 1350s can contact the gas tank skid if you have one (a little trimming of the skid is in order), the loud bang bang bang is a sure tell tale.

Any suggestions?

buy the 1350 shaft with yokes instead of flanges.

Now that you mention it the 1350 driveshaft kit I purchased comes with:one yoke, one flange for the differential, and one drive shaft 1350 high angle drive shaft.
The yokes will replace the flange yoke at the transfer case.

Sorry, I forgot that detail. Please forgive me I'm new at this.

I'm guessing his axle isnt centered properly, I have plenty of room.

the 2-doors have a much shorter shaft and sit at a much steeper angle and so the flange issues may not be an issue - only on 4-doors. but, a yoke would fix the problem anyway

On both ends? Or can it be just on one end of the driveshaft? I have a 2dr by the way.

just the axle end. make sure you get a pinion yoke and not a flange.
