Bigger tires on a Gladiator add weight, traction and load to everything between the transfer case and the axle, and the factory driveshaft was not built for that. A vibration or a failed joint far from help is a bad way to find the limit.
The Adams Driveshaft & Offroad Extreme Duty rear is a 2-piece 1350 CV unit with solid, non-greaseable U-joints. It uses a forged U-bolt style Dana 44 pinion yoke that supports the U-joint cap halfway around, and a solid steel transfer case flange yoke with Grade 10 CV bolts. The front section is 3 in x .083 wall DOM tubing and the rear section is 2 1/2 in x .095 wall.
Swap it in for the factory shaft and drive. It is painted gloss black and works up to 6 inches of lift.
Adams Driveshaft & Offroad replaces the U-joint if it breaks by torque.
