JE Reel Driveshafts

Who has installed JE Reel CV Shafts into their KJ?

1. Is there a noticeable difference between them and OEM?
2. Any issues?
3. Are they really worth paying that much more?

They cost a lot more so they must be better. Cowboy up!

He's talking about the front CV shafts and not the front driveshaft.

I'll be getting the 3/8" ground down CV's. It is about a $400 difference between the JE Reel and the other ones JeepinByAl is selling.

I'd hate to buy them and have them go bad in a short amount of time.

I'd have to look but my stock used have about 100,000 lifted miles on them.Not sure I'd spend the money.

They are selling the 3/8" machined down versions, but at $550 for drivers side and $461 for passenger side. That is a lot of money compared to $315 for each side with the other ones. $630 vs $1011. Those JE Reels would have to be really well proven on a Liberty for me to go that extra cost.
