Quick Q' regarding prekey
Hey, just curious, I'm running a superlift on my 08 right now, don't have the superlift driveshaft yet, ordered it a couple weeks ago, hopefully see it in a couple weeks.
I'm planning to do a prekey mod and shackles on the rear. Shackles are already here, 06 keys should be here in a couple days. So my question is: Should I wait and do the prekey after I have d/s to be installed. I'm just wondering if any angles in the susp (main concern bein the driveshaft) would change dramatically and cause an earlier failure of stock d/s. I'd hate to prematurely blow it out in a matter of weeks or days before the new one arrives. Thanks.

You'll be fine to go ahead and install the new keys. The angle of the drive shaft changed from the front drop brackets of the Superlift, while the transfer case remained in the same location. The keys just re-index your t-bars.
I have had my stock drive shaft in for 20000 miles with the Superlift and it is just now getting to the point where it really needs to be replaced.

Sean....you'll have no issues with the prekey mod. I just did it this past weekend to that Grabber Orange bodylifted '08 I was telling you about. She started out with semi-cranked bars in the beginning, and I got a total of 1.5" out of it with the same amount of crank on the adjustment bolt.
Superlift or not, Prekey mod will work.
