Do I have to change out my driveshaft and CV joints on a 2008 wrangler?

No. I currently have this on my 08 Sahara and it is just fine with the stock shaft and joints.

Probably. The stock drive shaft has a cv style joint, not a u-joint. It is not forgiving and mine immediately failed after lifting the jeep 2". I ordered an aftermarket drive shaft with real u-joints instead of that factory style cv joint. No problem after that.

No, you will be fine with either a JK or a JKU. Save your money and invest in a set of shock extenders or a set of lengthier shocks all together to accommodate for the extra lift. Being an 08, personally, I would skip the extenders if you are still running the stockers and go ahead and invest in a new set of quality (OME, TeraFlex, Bilstein, etc.) replacements. Hope this helps.

No, you'll need longer rear shocks. I have this on my 2008 jku, only thing extra that was needed was longer rear shocks. The factory ones will limit down travel even over the smallest dips in the road.

No i didnt have to but i did change my shocks after a couple of months just for smoother ride and btw it did gave me 2 inch lift.

No. You re-use your existing springs. They are sold separately if you need replacements.

No, that feature is only available in the factory top. For that feature you will need to purchase a factory replacement top from your local Jeep dealer parts department.

Absolutely. You remove the axle nut, brake caliper, caliper bracket (may have to remove backing plate) and CV joint from hub (may require taking tie-rod end and lower ball joint loose). Remove the hub with a slide hammer (OTC 4579). Remove bearing retaining clip at back side of bearing and press out bearing with the Alltrade 648741 Kit. Reverse procedure to install. Follow the directions that come with tool. I would recomend installing a new hub with the bearing, they can be purchased as a set.

Yes but I think it says to change your rear axles. I have rhinos all the way around. I have a 13 50 in and you're going to want to put 2 in spacers on or offset wheels

No need to change bushings. They will work fine and look great. Polish them before you put them on and they look even better. Comes with 4 screws and thats all.

I can't answer this exactly as I have an old 93 yj. Everything I have read though in the past says that the new wranglers require some sort of adapter plates to fit older style bumper mounts...

Sorry for the late response, Yes 2008 no fit issues. I do recommend the factory hardware you get a tighter fit using the green clips and the have the optional Phillips head/hex screws, it was very difficult to use a wrench (no clearance) Had to use a stubby Phillips screwdriver reaching over to tighten.Good luck!

Yes. There are 5 different inserts that you put inside the shifter knob. Choose the one that fits best and use the Allen key and screws (comes with it) to tighten it down. I have it on my Jeep Wrangler TJ.

I replaced them on a 1999 wrangler. You would have to order your year of course. They are not horrible a little bending and tweaking.

Place the ball joint back into the strut and then turn to adjust. The strut is universal. I installed mine a month a go and love them.

This was the upper ball joint for my 98 wrangler I think if you have a Dana 35 front axle it should be the same. You could always call Moog.

Hi Laura, Sorry for the delay. There is a nut that is at the base of the old gear shift or you should be able to twist off the old one.

I installed these on my 87 wrangler you have to trim the front of the front flares and the rest just drill and attach. You get to cut out about 2 inch's of wheel well too so you can fit bigger tires with no lift. It is a common swap and it took me a weekend to install. But they are designed for the 97 to 06 wranglers.

No. The coilovers you are looking for are CTYO51-KP (spring rates 9.8K/4.5K) . According to Ksport-Usa, you will need to do some weldding. They did not specify exactly what will need to be welded, but I'm assuming it's for proper installatin. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

To my knowledge Jeep has not changed the latches on the 2007-2014 model Jk's but it might be wise to contact Rugged Ridge to be sure

No, you will have to remove hardware in your wheel wheels and behind the grille to switch out the parts however.
