Yukon is a name brand. That said, there is nothing special about a driveshaft. Sometimes having a local driveline shop make one for you is cheaper, sometimes buying off the shelf is cheaper. You can also buy one that mounts right up to the factory pinion flange rather than replacing the flange with a yoke. For DIY folks sometimes this eliminates worry about the pinion nut.

This was my reason for the question, i noticed it has a Yoke for transfer case and axle usually off the self ones have only one, i believe the transfer case yoke?. Is it easy to change the pinon as you stated, Because this one is mark down right now at a decent Price i think>?

I have a JKU 2011, with 2 inch Lift from Rancho performance with 33” inch Tires, The measurement i took of the Front Driveshaft was 36", I measured the Inside lip to flat surface on the other end. So I would like to have room for a change in future to 3.5” inch Lift and 35" tires. My question is, can a Off the self driveshaft will Have driveline That allow me to grow without a another driveshaft change, will it support up to 4 inch lift? But with Part shortages, I'm finding Price really High, I was looking on eBay at Driveshaft Direct 329.00 plus shipping. Anyone have experience with them?
