Was shopping for a new front DS and saw that JE Reel offered one with the use of the stock axle/T-case flanges. Anyone using this DS with a RK 2.5 lift? http://www.quadratec.com/products/52301_9060.htm

so you know, the link you posted is for a rear shaft. either way, i would recommend that you NOT use the factory flanges but rather, get replacement yokes especially up front. yokes will allow for better operating angles and will reduce your chances of getting driveline vibrations.

i have these in my to-do list front and rear. I like doing everything myself but I Dont think ill be able to loosen/tighten pinion nuts easily so I was looking into these replacements. Im waiting to hear on some reviews too.
