Adams 1310 front driveshaft

[Silvertruck]

Just got an Adams 1310 front driveshaft installed to correct driveline angles at the transfer case.

First impression is that fit and finish are top notch. The CV style joint at the transfer case was changed to a traditional u-joint yoke, adding length and reducing angle. The unit is greasable in all the spots you’d expect. I havent been off road yet but did do a 4 high road test to 50 mph and no vibes.

here are some pics, hard to do it justice on a rainy day. Its a solid piece, probably been discussed on here a hundred times but add SilverTruck as another happy customer

Very nice! How much lift are you running?

We are running the Clayton Offroad 3.5 inch overland plus lift. I am not sure about before and after with the lift but now its a legit 48 inches to the top of the front fenders. Probably 46 to the top of the inner liners.

Where you having issues with the stock one? I have the same lift On road its not issue at all, but I agree if you flex a decent amount, you'll run into issues

Not on road but on my set up it was clear that any articulation was going to put the stock shaft in contact with the cv housing on the transfer case side. I also had planned to do the front shaft anyway on recommendation of the lift manufacturer and after learning how much height the jeep actually would get with this kit.

Ive been wanting to do the front driveshaft, but i dont understand the difference between all the connections etc.

From my understanding the rear drive shaft has plenty of clearance

Wow. That’s tall. What size tires do you have?

Anyone do it themselves? Got my front all disassembled last night, but the rear uses some sort of special torx head it looks like. Got stuck at that and had to reassemble my old shaft.

I also bought the same front Adam's drive shaft with the Clayton 3.5" Overland Plus kit. I have been 4wheeling with it about 10 times or so. I works great, no vibrations. Note: my front diff is set at 89 degrees.

I'm struggling to find information on maintenance for the 1310 other than greasing at oil changes and after off road. I see the one grease zirk, is that it? Type of grease?

That one zerk should be it. The u-joints should be sealed/non-serviceable.

as for grease, same stuff you use in ball joints or any other zerk under a vehicle

Thanks! I saw in a video there might be a flat zirk on the CV but I wasn't able to see it at first glance. I also saw in one video a guy used a molly grease (which I have to use in my RCVs) and I also have a gun loaded with regular old grease. Sounds like the regular grease should be fine.

Rubicon has extra tall fenders to begin with

when you order a 1310 Adams which option should I choose for my rubicon JT with 3.5 overland Clayton kit? M220 or M200? Then I send the measurement in flat to lip? Thanks. Your lift turned out really nice.
