Got a whole bunch of parts for the jeep this week (rocker protection, sye, HD adjustable track bar, and flares, 1 inch spacers and shackles to increase my lift to 4.5 inches). I am waiting to order the driveshaft untill the lift and sye is installed (so I can get an accurate measurement instead of guessing) I was thinking about going with a tom woods drive shaft. Does anyone have an experience with them? I am just wondering how long it will take to actually recieve the driveshaft once the order is placed?
Also was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me a hand with the flares once the other stuff is done? I am a hack when it comes to body work (just look at my front fenders I had to do some cutting to install my 33's and ouch)

Tom Wood = Great products and great service!
I run all TW shafts in my Heeps.
Lou at Elias 4WD usually has a variety of TW shafts in stock.
Give him a shout and see if he might have what you need.

Re: driveshaft? and flares
I love Tom Woods. I have their rear drive shaft, I have caused it to fail twice due to improper maintenance and both times they fixed it quickly and were very fair on what they charged. They could have definitely charged me more. During one repair there was a disagreement in their shop about whether or not the shaft itself was bent. They replaced it at no charge to be on the safe side. As far as turn around time, just give them a call and they will tell you the current lead times and they are very honest about it. I have always been happy with how fast the ship things out.

They also have a great warranty on their u-joints.

I'm running a Woods rear DS as well and it has performed flawlessly so far.
Speed costs money, how slow do you want to go?

My rear DS is a cut down XJ front, but I would get a Woody if I bought one.

Called Lou yesterday, ordered the TW driveshaft. Very nice guy, seemed very knowlagable.
