I’m starting to consider some upgrades to my ‘06 Unlimited but I’m not sure I want to get into a ton of cost to do it. First, I know the old saying every Jeep is different. I have an Old Man Emu 2 inch lift (got about 2.5 inches with HD springs). I’ve been thinking about the UCF extra clearance skid (not the ultra high-clearance), a MML and a Savvy BL.
Can the longer Unlimited’s use that skid/MML/BL combo without absolutely having to get a SYE and/or DC driveshaft? I understand Control Arms may be required as well, but possibly just the uppers to correct pinion angles. Is that correct?
Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to have all the goodies, but I just can’t spend that much money all at once.
I guess what I’m really asking is, can the NP231 and factory rear drive shaft, as it sits in my Jeep right now, work with that combo as long as I don’t have vibrations?
I don’t know enough about that part of it to know if the OEM driveshaft would be too short too long or whatever
