I didnt think you had to get a new driveshaft if you have the push button. I thought it was just for the push button that had the automatic setting on it for 4x4. ANyone wanna clear that up?

If ur 2 door has the 4x4 shifter on the floor, then you wont need that drive shaft. Its only needed if ur rig has the push button 4x4. I have the RXC kit with 35s. you will definetly need to regear after putting on the bigger tires. Also, after you install the lift, you will need to have a muffler shop replace a section of the exhaust that needs to be cut out due to front drive shaft being in the way.

Alright ya i have push button so i will need the different front drive shaft

With the 35's did you have to do any trimming?

and how is breaking with the 35's i only wonder cause i tow a trailer probably 5-8 times in the summer, it is a inclosed trailer not big enough for a full car but big enough for my buddies race are(based off of a VW Bettle chassis) tools, and camping gear, probably 2,000 TO 2,500LBS NO TRAILER BRAKES. so this worries me going to too big of a tire, cause 35's seem like a lot of rotating mass

If you have to change out your drive shaft I would go with a tom woods. I got 2 on my jeep (front and rear) and I love them. I do have to admit I beat the hell out of my little jeep and when something does brake I put on stronger parts. When I do the lift on my hoe that what I'm going with.

Only if you have the auto 4wd option mine is push button without auto 4wd so i didn't need the new driveshaft.

Your truck looks sick! exactly the look i am going for. Couple questions.

Did you have to do any trimming?

What lift did you use?

What size tires are you running?

Did you have to use any wheel spacers?

What gears are you running?

Any suprises during install?
