I am buying the 4" superlift suspension lift for my 2000 4x4, 4.0. The site I am buying it from says that it will significantly shorten the lifespan of the front drive shaft. I'm wondering if they are making it sound worse than it really is just to make me spend another 500 bucks. Thoughts?

Thanks, clarissa

No they are not, the repezza style joint on the front shaft doesn't like operating at that angle very much at all.

Most people buy the adapter for the transfer case and run the older double cardan driveshaft.
