I have an OME HD lift on my 2000 Disco II. It seems that the stress caused by the lift has worn out the U-joints on the front driveshaft. Is there a different or longer drive shaft I should replace my stock one with. Any help would be appreciated, as my truck is down until i relace the driveshaft. Thank You, Eric Olsen | ||

Longer won't do any good, you need one with a double u-joint at the T-case end. Great Basin has them, as do Tom Woods. Links are in the Resources section.  Click picture to visit the store | ||

Axel, Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the DII already have the style of drive shaft in the front like you are talking about? Personally I would just get the one that you have rebuilt/balanced with u-joints that you can grease rather than the sealed for life one that is stock on the DII. Bill @ Great Basin sells a kit to update the stock DII shaft with the grease zerk u-joints. | ||

You are right. I was thinking of D1, not D2. I agree with you on the greasable joints. Click picture to visit the store | ||

The Tom Woods Driveshaft didn't fit well on my truck in the front. I know this is true of several others. 95 D1....rubbed the zerk off and chewed up some of the shaft on the Cat. | ||

Thanks for the response, it looks like I will just have my front drivshaft U-joints rebuilt. Thanks, Eric |
