Rzippa joint life

[robx251]

So I’m approaching 55k miles on my 2016 jkr and I’m beginning to wonder how much life I got left in my factory driveshafts with the rzippa joints. Anyone have a general guess as to what the expected life is on one of them. Granted I do have a 2” budget boost in there and most of my miles are around back roads and highways. I’m starting the new d/s fund but going do do arms too to get a double Cardon set up.

It depends on how hard you wheel. Keep an eye on the joint and when it pukes grease all over your t-case, it's time for an upgrade.

I'm at 100,000 with the factory driveshaft. 3.5 lift 37s etc etc. Slip joint boot has been toast forever, but the rzeppa boot hasn't given me any issues yet. You probably still have quite a bit of life on yours given your current setup.

Sitting on 35s and a level kit with 60k miles and my boot just exploded while offroading on some rocks. Think it all depends on what your doing. Highway and backroads I would think you will be fine for a long time. Start crawling and you may be upgrading sooner than you think.
