Good driveshaft
I purchased this because my stock rear driveshaft had seen better days. Install was easy enough, and took about an hour after I pried the stock shaft off. Instructions talk about purchasing a new crush sleeve--I didn't and it seems fine; as long as you check your bearing preload before and during install it should be good. I've had this installed for about 6 months and 5k miles. It's been broke in and tested in harsh remote areas of the Colorado mountains (Black Bear Pass was a breeze), as well as on the interstate and around town. Instructions are clear enough and it came with all hardware required for install. The only thing I have modified was adding rear upper control arms to correct the pinion angle because I was getting a slight driveline vibration at around 50 mph--adding the rear uppers resolved this issue.The only thing I was slightly worried about is the transfer case yoke attachment utilizes u-bolts, whereas my Tom Woods front driveshaft is a direct bolt-on with no u-bolts. I was worried with the u-bolts ability to handle so much torque, but so far it has been a non-issue.

So much better that stock
I had the front for a long time and just got around to doing rear. It’s a noticeable difference Not sure if the cv joint on factory shaft was worn or what. But this thing is awesome and was really easy to install. Note that the factory one was a PIA to remove because the axle side nut is recessed on the pinion and regular sockets had a hard time getting in there. That might have been because of my regear so everyone may not have this issue.

Nice but not Balanced
Everything is as expected on the D/S I received. I actually ordered both front and rear for my 2013 JK. These Yukon D/S's are virtually the same as the Adam's and from the looks of it are not balanced either. It seems like they could send them balanced or at least tell you to get them balanced before installation to save you time and, perhaps, consider another company who balances them properly before they ship...

Honest review here***
Broke my stock rear drive shaft and I knew Yukon gear was a great company. Took a chance and spent the extra money. man! You can feel a difference. Only thing is cause it’s after market it is heavier than the stock part. So at around 30 MPH you get this vibration. Once you pass 35 it goes away.. i am very pleased with this purchase. A little pricey compared to other brands but I will always pay extra for great brands that don’t break and have a guarantee.. oh. I have a 4” lift with 18” wheels and 35 general grabbers.

Great upgrade !!!!
Awesome Drive shaft. Fit perfect absolutely no issues. Just make sure you have a thin walled 32mm socket for the nut on the transfer case flange. No vibrations tested up to 90mph :) . I have a 4.5" lift

Amazon strikes again
I’m sure the product is very well made. However Amazon warehouse strikes again. Ordered the drive shaft and received a front axle shaft for a Rubicon. Amazon open box items seem to be incorrect every time I purchase something.
