Why do you want 2 cardan joints?

Thanks Dave
Tom Woods recommends a double DC driveshaft at 4" or up on a WJ, I only want to get one built once, and its cheaper building one up from 2 old xj front shafts

I would just say I have read a lot about tom woods and as a lot pf people have pointed out on american forums, he is in business to make money, so he does ( like all) recomend the more expensive options, even if they make no difference to performance. I would opt for the other way round myself

What joint are you going for at Tom Woods???
I would also recomend the DC at 4" lift.
