Installing a Front Adams Driveshaft on a Jeep Wrangler JK

This is a easy step by step video showing how to install a "front" Adams Driveshaft (1310 CV) with solid U-Joints for a Jeep Wrangler JK. This is part of their Extreme Duty Series. The SCOPE of this video does not include how to remove your Factory (stock) driveshaft. In another video on our Channel (John's Jeep Garage) we have a video showing you how to remove the factory front driveshaft on your Jeep Wrangler JK.
Note: When using the torque wrench for the front transfer case flange nut, we locked the transfer case into 4WD Low to create the resistance when tightening to 160 ft lbs. After, to enable the transfer case yoke to rotate while installing the bolts for the T-Case Yoke side, we put it back into 2WD.
Torque settings - Front Transfer Case Flange Nut - 160 ft lbs, Transfer Case Yoke bolts (5/16") are torqued to 18 ft lbs, the front pinion yoke (15mm bolts) are torqued to 80 ft lbs and the transfer case skid plate (18mm bolts) are torqued to 55 ft lbs.
When ordering a custom made Adams Driveshaft for your Jeep Wrangler JK, they show you a diagram on how to measure the length of the front driveshaft on their website. Though they have standard measurements for the JK, they still request you submit measurements. Included in our other video "How to Remove a Front Driveshaft" on your Jeep Wrangler JK, we show you how to measure for your new driveshaft.

What did you do about the angles? You did not have adjust the axles?

These front drive shafts are custom made for the size of your Jeep and lift. They have standard sizes made based on lift information. This eliminated my issue caused by the angle at the CV joints. Contact Adams directly and ask them about your specific Jeep and needs. This is a quote from their website:
“Application: 2007 to 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler's 2 or 4 Door Models up to 4 of Lift. After 4" of Lift we would need you to get us a measurement with the Jeep sitting at Ride height. These driveshafts are custom made so if you have altered the front or rear differentials, or transfer case's example [Dyna track Housings, Tera Flex, Ultimate 60's Housing's, Atlas T-cases, Etc] we can accommodate you. We will just need to know this Information after you have ordered.
If you have any Questions at all you can Contact us at 702-568-5680 anytime during the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Pacific Time Monday thru Friday and we would be glad to help you. You can also send us a e-mail or message us through our Social Media sites on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter if you need a question answered during the weekend.”

@@JohnsJeepGarage Thanks for the reply. I thought you had to reduce caster at the front differential. I guess not.

I would encourage you to call the tech support line for Adams Driveshaft. They are very helpful and can advise you specifically on your specific Jeep depending on the lift kit and Jeep info. The Yoke system they have worked perfectly with my Jeeps. Thank you again for watching.
