Fwiw, I wouldn't pay that much money for a regular driveshaft. Do a SYE and CV front shaft. Tattons and TW are great shafts, just read their warranties about breaking depending on if their joint or if a spicer joint is in it. TW wouldn't warranty the one of my friends JKUR when it broke in Moab since it had a spicer joint in it, not their "gold joint" or whatever.

I'm working on shimming my axle right now, and I'll let you know after re: the Tatton shaft. The other guy on here said his never stopped the vibes, but mine has atleast reduced it pretty well so far without the shimmed axle.
If I had a garage, I would have just done the hack n tap, but my parking spot is absolutely disgusting and covered in bum urine.
Secondary thing: Where can I find longer headed center pins? Mechanic said I need these to get my shims installed for the head to go through the shim & the spring perch.

I can't remember the size... Maybe 7/16 or 5/8? Google the part, but you can order them from Serious offroad or IRO and hundreds of other vendors.

Yeah he gave me the sizes. Thanks though. I had to drill out my spring perch to 5/8" for the RE spring center to fit, but I need a 5/8" long head as well, he said. That way they fit through the shim and into the spring perch... Makes sense, just can't find them. I'll look harder, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spots.
