Front Driveshaft on Metal Cloak 3.5" Lift

[dgerb]

For those with the Metal Cloak 3 1/2" lift, is it really important to measure for a new front drive-shaft, if so, what measurement are you coming up with. I would think it would be the same for all, if the same lift is used. Wouldn't the slip joint make-up for slight differences. I'm trying to save turn around time for the lift installation.

The Metalcloak driveshaft is 1310, the OEM on the 392 is 1330....Metalcloak doesn't offer a 1330 or 1350.

On my JK I had a 4.5 lift AEV with stock shafts. After 3 yrs they are still going strong. Not sure this is really required and I don't like the snip remark MC puts on there order sheet. I am an expert and don't need a drive shaft. That made me want a different company lift kit.
