RE: Drive Shaft Install
I installed mine with just regular jackstands...they are high enough.

RE: Drive Shaft Install
Do you have to drop the gas tank to do the drive shaft?

RE: Drive Shaft Install
The factory manual calls for lowering the fuel tank. Then you unbolt the driveshaft flange to remove the driveshaft. This is another job I hired out due to the fact it required dropping the exhaust as well and I refuse to work on the exhaust.
I've been told one of the easier ways is to lower the differential housing and slide the driveshaft out the rear and to the side of the center section. Depending upon your exhaust, it may also need to be lowered.

When my drive shaft was installed we did not remove the gas tank or disconect it, just dropped one side down and slid the driveshaft in and out above it.

RE: Drive Shaft Install
If you have a factory exhaust , it's easy to drop the exhaust just drop the rear section and and the ges tank is light if you run it close to out of gas I used a 2 x 6 X 8' plank under the tank with a floor jack under each side but you could use anything to prop up each end to lower the tank slowly till you have enough room
