Default Superlift Front Driveshaft

Debating on buying the Superlift Driveshaft, I need a new driveshaft quick and wondering if there are any issues with the driveshaft or should I spend the extra time to get one custom made? Thanks.

Assuming you actually have the Superlift kit - there is nothing wrong with the Superlift driveshaft. Works like it should.

Only knock some give it is the initial cost - but going the 'custom' route takes time to gather the parts etc.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other (AKA - Users choice) IMO.

Yes it has the Superlift lift and 3" body lift on 35's. Alright thanks I'll order the Superlift driveshaft and I looked at your ranger build where did you get the coilover conversion for the front I have looked everywhere and I can not find it. It appears they are discontinued by RCD.

My setup wasn't just a conversion - it was the true 5.5" RCD coilover suspension lift which is long discontinued by now.

However, a member (ME00stepside) on "the other site" used to make some brackets to convert to coilovers on both stock height and Superlifted trucks. He might still make them..I'm just not sure.

You would still need to supply the actual coilovers.

His brackets are based on the ones that came as part of the original RCD kit.

Yeah I looked for his brackets as well and I can't find anything posts that he was taking orders on that are newer than 2 or 3 years old. Thanks for the help though.
