Not really. I like the smaller platform. If anything, I would prefer to stretch the rear.

Yes, it's a TJ Rubicon. This time it's going to Blaine for the mid-arm and outboard though. Not making the same mistake twice.
That's my thought as well. I'd actually prefer a stretched TJ over an Unlimited, as I like the smaller platform.
That's about what I paid 10 years ago and I was buying both front and rear. $1k for both shafts.
Not entirely sure. I believe that's what Blaine suggested when I spoke to him on the phone. Unless I misheard.
Which is why I stretched my TJ. I can't wait to get it on the trail and see how it does.
Pop quiz hotshot!
Which is better?
A. A TJ stretched to be the exactly the same as an LJ
Or
2. a stock LJ

Interesting. I would think if you’re going for travel with the outboard and all that you would want 1310 joints as they will allow more droop of the DS without binding. At least that’s my understanding but I may be wrong
Maybe @mrblaine can comment on this. In all fairness, I may have misheard what Blaine said, so I don't want to put any words in his mouth.

A TJ stretched to LJ WB but the rear pushed to the edge of the body. No overhang like a LJ and if you pushed the front forward also your approach and departure angles will be awesome.

I like the idea, but they can be a little long.
Good answer,
You win, something!
I haven't figured out what yet, let me rummage around...

What's part number on those currie bumps. How do you dial the height in? with washers?
I think I’ve missed something? @Chris i understand needing a new rear shaft after all this work, I’m assuming the 1350 is just an upgrade and doesn’t mean it allows for more droop? Also @jjvw didn’t you need a new shaft for the rear? If so, wouldn’t Chris have the same outcome of having to limit travel.

Yes, I don't think 1350 joints have anything to do with limiting travel. I think I misunderstood Blaine, as my kids were screaming in the background (literally) over some stupid crap.
The travel will have to be limited on mine as well, as the driveshaft is so short that I expect it is going to bottom out before the shocks (unless I'm wrong)?
