When I change the driveshaft, does the vehicle need to be completely level (on a lift), or can I jack up just the front?
Just put the fron on jack stands. Be safe with them - block the rear wheels so you can't get the Jeep rocking if you have to get vigorous with a bolt or two.
Curious: Why do you need an entire driveshaft? Did yours get bent or otherwise damaged?

I crawled underneath my Jeep and found the front driveshaft boot ripped (xfer case end.) I suspect it happened recently, and everything works fine with no funny noises. Should I go ahead and install a replacement CV joint now, or wait until it starts complaining?
EDIT: Part is on order, so I might as well put it in...
Just replaced the front shaft CV. I found all kinds of gritty stuff in there, and the joint had some play in it so I think that boot had been torn for a while. The boot came off in 3 pieces.
So I'm in the middle of doing mine right now too and ran into some problems...
I got the driveshaft out, got the cover off the old CV, got the retaining ring out, and that's where I am now...I cannot get the rest of the old joint off the driveshaft! Tried everything I can think of. Any thoughts?
You may have to borrow a gear puller from AutoZone or someplace like that. Yours may have some rust in there that's preventing it from coming off. Use anti-seize when you put it back on.
