Installed both of the new front driveshafts: went with the Adams 1310. The factory angle of the front driveshaft (t-case side) was pretty great after the lifts. This definitely corrects that and should allow for full droop now. Cant wait to test that out!
For the install - i would HIGHLY recommend an impact driver and someone to help you put it in/out of 4H (to lock the front shaft). If you dont have someone, you're going to be doing a lot of burpees If you dont have an impact gun - you're gunna have a bad time! You will also need some extensions. I used about 16" of extensions and a swivel.
For the front bolts - it's (4) 15mm bolts. They come out rather easily.
The rear bolts - use a T50 and are in there REALLY good - factory used green locktite. Like i said - impact gun or you will be sweating.
After bolts are removed - shaft should fall out.
Next - remove the rear yoke nut - 1 1/4. I would get a deep socket. After nut is removed, use a chisel (or wood) and a hammer to tap out the yoke.
REINSTALL
Put black silicone on the nut and red locktite on the threads - re-install new yoke and nut - tighten to 166 ft/lbs.
Front bolts will tighten to 89 ft/lbs. - use red locktite. Rear bolts dont have torque specs - i just went tight as i could with red locktite.
New shafts look "very nice"
