At once?
I think Chris and I will have Driveshaft Masters at the very least give us an idea of what the driveshaft and balancing Chris' will cost.
Well post when we find out

i had my driveshaft built at driveshaft masters in Harbor City and have been very pleased- well balanced, fairly priced, built quickly (overnight, since he had to order one flange). seems pretty stout so far i don't know if he does group buys though might try high angle driveline? i've heard nothing but good things about them (and more and more negative things about tom wood)

Tam, I got my DS for $220 at a local shop in Fresno. Took them about 4 hours to have it ready with all spicer parts.

No, I'll have to purchase the adj front trackbar separate from the kit. The SF kit comes with these additional parts on top of everything that comes with the standard RE 3.5" kit: "front sway bar disconnects, lower Super Flex control arms front and rear, and extended front brake lines."
The price quotes I received was for both the standard kit and the SF kit - the price difference is 220.00. Is the 220.00 well worth those additional parts? Both the kits came well within my budget of $750.00 - I'm getting pretty darn excited now...

Congrats! I thought that kit came with an adj trackbar? Maybe not.
Don't forget about the driveshaft too ... maybe we can see if we have enough interest to do a group buy, because I need one too before my lift goes on

Jason at Redrock has given me an offer for the RE 3.5" SF kit that I can't refuse! So now it looks as though I'll be going with that kit as suggested by members of this forum from the start. At first I didn't think I could get that with the budget I have, but things are now lookin' good. The only thing is that I'll have to wait another few weeks after getting the kit for my adj front track bar since I'll have to save up again. I'm also aware that I should go with a sye and will begin saving up for that as well.
Now my TJ is a daily driver (about 3-4 miles a day on surface streets) and she rarely sees the highway. I do plan on taking her offroading from time to time (nothing too heavy). She's also a 4-banger and I've read of some who have gone with 33" tires and haven't had a problem for years until they could afford new gears. Would it be fine if I did the same thing? Otherwise, I will stick with 32's until I could get her regeared (another few years). Thanks guys! Now I'll have to study up on the RE SF installation instructions - there's a bit more in there to do...

Yes, for the most part it'll be just the parts mentioned above. I'm considering a 3" black diamond kit someone is passing on to me for a really good price. I probably won't do the sway bar disconnect mods and just buy new ones later on. I'll post updates on what kit I get and in the meantime I'll also check out that shop mentioned above. If possible, I wanted to do it myself with a little help. The last time I did any work on a jeep was on my 05 Wrangler - I have yet to touch anything on the newer ones; but things seem pretty darn straightforward. Thanks!
