Default JK driveshaft ?

I am starting a jk build and I would like to know what drive shaft's to use. It has 13in W/B, custom delrin chassis, Ax10 axle's and trans with 4link. I am running 2.2 flat iron's. If possible I would like to see pick's please and also pick's of flat fenders. Thank you

Not to be rude, but you already answered your question. Use Axial driveshafts!

You have everything else axial.

Im using pede shafts with metal end joints. On the front where the driveshaft is longer I took a female end and a male end with the joint part cut off and epoxied it inside. You could probably do the same with the axials. Then used another female end on the other side not epoxied so that I still get the slip action. Most people run a 13.75" wheelbase on the j/ks so you may want to re-check what you got.

No doubt, if you already have the Axial kit , use them, not long enough. extend them. That is what has been done with the pede shafts.

Mine used to pop out under full articulation, so I went and did what maxxa did and glued one together and cut it apart to make it longer.

Oh I just had a thought. Maybe I could use the output extension that came with my r2d since I didn't use it on my comp truck. Ill just have to get another one for the front.
