    Prophylactic , sounds like a Medical Device!! My oldest kid 32 can come up with some words, but on the other hand he is a Blackhawk Helecopter Pilot. How about a little preventive maintenance. No noise yet. Front Driveline seems OK so far. Only 39k miles.
    I also had a 99 Grand Cherokee that I lifted never had any drive line issues got rid of it at 135k mi.
    My Dodge 2500 Diesel has a front drive line like your getting and I think my old CJ7 did too. New design not always better. But I never thought I would have a independent front end either.

    As far as I know most have adjustables on, and in my case I replaced the factory shaft with a custom double cardan shaft as well

    We've gotta re-do the shock towers and rear axle geometry on my RC because of this! New HD driveshafts and U-joints aside, bad angles make for SHORT wheeling sessions... and long rides on rollbacks...

    Cool thanks! Did you have to drop the gas tank for the install?

    The tank doesn't need to be fully removed, and the lines can remain connected. I removed all gas tank skid bolts except for the one directly over the front of the rear driveshaft (cause that's a PITA to get out without disconnecting the shaft). Using a good floor jack, lower the tank slowly, just enough to slide the bolt out. Be careful of the fuel pump electrical wires; the control arm bolt will need to slide over them so you want to make sure not to "force" the bolt or you might damage those wires.

    Yep, that looks like the bad angle I had.

    Yes, we did the drop. You can't pull the front bolt otherwise.
