[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 439177, member: 19161"] Questions: 1. You used the plural "driveshafts." Did both go? 2. Have you determined the why's and how's you lost both? Makes little sense to replace them unless you resolve the issue that caused their failure to begin with. 3. Assuming these are the original stock driveshafts, you put a 3" lift, changed the torque ratio with new gears and didn't upgrade the shafts? Maybe I'm answering my own question #2 above, but... Upgrading your driveshaft is highly recommended when: [LIST=1] [*]installing any lift in excess of 2" or any suspension lift in excess of 2.5" [*]any horsepower or torque upgrade/increase [*]bigger tires in combination with a horsepower gain, drive train upgrade or transmission upgrade. [*]any change that results in a shaft angle of 15 degrees or more. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
