Comments: After some research on which was the "best" kit to buy, I picked up the JB offering from Tom Wood's and it is one of the last of the narrow shaft designs. That saved me from having to remove the factory needle bearings in the transfer case like you have to do with 99% of the kits out there. The others work fine, just this one was less work, and I prefer needle bearings myself.
Install was easy, but I got a tad confused reading the instructions as they were universal and geared more towards a TJ. Doesn't take much thought to work through it though. Make sure you use RTV silicone on the splines of both input and output shafts where the yokes slip on. That will minimize the possibility of leaks and was a tip from the pros at TW. Anyhow, the parts fit PERFECT and are well made, but best of all this kit increased my driveshaft length, and got rid of all my vibrations (with TW driveshaft).
Get rid of that TC drop kit ASAP.
