From what I understand it's a vibration issue. Every lift manufacturer has an "except AWD" note in their application chart. You may need to get a different driveshaft if you get a vibration.

What's the difference between the driveshafts? I thought there's no functional difference between the 2wd-a4wd-4hi-4lo and the a4wd-4hi-4lo models other than the transfercase (or more to the point, the magnetic coupler that engages the front axle).

It is a vibration issue, AWD always turn the front shafts, You can do it but you may run into vibration issues with either front or rear shafts. Read Fabtech sites instructions for install of kit.
I have some vibration in mine, but its cause of the 11" lift. :flamingdevil:
