I know there's a lot of information posted about aftermarket driveshafts but I want to hear what people with 5.5" lifts or more say.
I have the RK 5.5" lift which actually gave me 5.5" in the rear and 6.5" in the front. Haven't remeasured again to see if it has sagged over time.
I'm running, or was, JE Reel DSs and last week the front got the angry sparrows. Pulled it apart and the ball and ball stud were trashed (was quoted $300 to rebuild it, which I'm not doing). I've been running without a front DS since then.
Now, this morning I'm getting the angry sparrows from the rear. I'm going to remove it and run the stocker (only rear) until I get new driveshafts.
Those of you running 5.5" of lift or more, what DS are you running? Happy with it or are you having any issues?
Thx.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm at about 8" of lift with 38s and still runin oem shafts with no issues, I figured when they crap out on me I'll replace them at that point, my rigs off road about 25% off the time however I drive it like I'm still makin payments on it ; )
