yes im currently still running stock drive shafts. i know superlift recommends buying theirs, however its just not in the budget right now. i figure ive got a few months before its any kind of concern.
ive actually had this really ugly sound come from under my truck somewhere in the front on a wheeling trip. this like grinding groaning sound scared the hell outa me
i figured it may have been a wheel bearing seeing as how i sunk it REALLY good the weekend before but now ive been thinking posibly drive shaft was the noise. its gone away for the most part except when im on logging roads i hear some abnormal squeak from somewhere up front. im pulling tires tonight and taking a closer look. (*fingers crossed*)
Everything wears out in time. The superlift shaft has a double cardon joint in the rear at the tcase end that allows for far better operating angles compared to the stock shaft. The install of the superlift OR RCD or Trailmaster kits drop the differential down so far that that joint is overextended and the angle is beyond the joints operational angle, and causes a bind in that joint.
