have both front and read 1310s. they're OK I guess.
my front drive shaft came loose at the transfer case. it shook one day on the highway that it grenade my transfer case. not trying to place blame on Adams, just stating the facts.
I guess I need to add that to my torque check list.
sent it back to Adams, they rebalanced it and fixed the u joint for a pretty penny.
again, just stating the facts...

I installed the Adam's front and rear on my 2012 JK with 220 miles on it and the exhaust spacers. 4.5" Rubicon express super flex lift. I was still seeing the marks of the driveshaft hitting the exhaust from extreme flex. I then bought the AFE exhaust reroute that takes the passenger side crossover behind the transfer case. Problem solved.

I hope you have protected all those fuel lines right above with some heat shield. If you haven't it's pretty cheap to order some. Can't be too careful as the exhaust is now pretty close to some delicate lines.

I recommend running a flange at the Transfer case. Depending on your set up and driveline angles you may not even need the double Cardone shaft. Most people don't take the time to measure and spend the extra $150 on a super maintenance item. Its nice to run a DC on rock crawlers to keep the pinion higher but on an overlanders, beach runner, fire road, daily driver a single u-joint end should work fine. Rear 2 doors might have angle issues.

Thanks for bringing that up as I forgot to mention that. I did get some additional insulation and place it around the lines.
