So I'm in the process of installing a centerforce clutch (needed it for tomorrow and it was instock) otherwise I would have gone ACT. The jt has 22k miles on it, had the lift the whole time. Im running jks 3.5" springs, and their ACOS system for the other 2" Its my wife's daily, but we do trail it, albeit usually not to aggressively. I knew my front ds would be on the list, however, after pulling it, I noticed I'm actually creating a bell shape on the cv cup. It's obviously getting pushed to the limit, what front shaft are you guys lifted this much or more running?

Interested too. Since I'm running the same JKS parts and Clayton 2.5" diesel springs for 4"+ lift.

I've seen the Adam's and Woods drive shafts.

Adam’s 1310 I believe is the correct one. I’m at 4.5” in the front but intentionally leave my end links connected so I don’t run into this issue.

Pretty sure I did most of this damage running up the steps at marble head at drumond Island last fall.

I have a Tom Woods front ds which has been great for over a year. Service was quick and easy with them and I even called to confirm the proper way to measure after I placed the order online. Running a 4.5” Rock Krawler lift that resulted in roughly 5.5-6” up front with stock plastic bumper and no winch.
