LOST JEEPS :: View topic - New front drive line?

So, I'm getting close to getting all my little gremlins taken care of (If that's possible with these CRD's) ONE of the final items is to replace is the front drive line as I understand that they are not rebuild-able and somewhat of a weak link.
I do have a 2.5 inch franken lift as as you may or may not know, the OEM drive line is stupid expensive.

So, my question, is there an aftermarket drive line available that bolts right up to the CRD? I have decent mechanical skills, but don't have the resources for a huge undertaking...Let me know if more information is needed. Thanks

If by front axle drive shaft(s) you mean the same thing as the factory parts fiche they are the CV joint axles that go to each front wheel and rebuild kits are available from http://www.driveshaftparts.com/ and IIRC NAPA has rebuilt units.

Drive Shaft Parts has both the CV joints individually for replacing one or both joints or a complete assembled front drive shaft assembly ready to bolt in.
Good prices on all parts. :wink:

You can also convert it to a 1310 Driveshaft and dont have to worry about the cheap CV heads going out
