I got your back. I have a gallon of green paint sitting around for another project. I could probably spare some to save you the shame of driving a red jeep

Some ZJs came with CV front driveshafts. You must change the front driveshaft and yoke. I don't know of any other reason they say it won't work since everything else is the same.

Must be something about the CV driveshafts that don't like angles. I also read(Haynes manual I think) that the CV driveshafts must be a certain length or they will destroy themselves. Glad neither of my ZJs have them.

Bad CV driveshaft

Good driveshaft

angles shouldn't be a problem. IIRC the grease boots will tear and all grease leaks out. then they get hot and self destruct.

The CV type have no slip joint. The joint itself allows for movement. When lifted it causes the CV joint to stretch out to far and it eats itself up. When installed it must measure a certain length at normal ride height. It must be adjusted when installed new and used ones cannot be readjusted.

Wish I could give advice on the lift. Our '93 just has up country springs and a budget boost.

Due to the price of most of the others I would probably do the same. Either way, will be sweet with some altitude.
