FWIW I have 2.5" teraflex springs bilstein shocks and rancho geo brackets. It gives my 2 door about 3 inches of lift. haven't any problems, but I certainly don't wheel like some of the people here. Am I looking at trouble if I don't upgrade?

Over a long term, I'd say yes. Some guys are just more lucky than others, but any instance where you flex the Jeep out, even not nearly "as hard as others on here," that rear shaft will shit it pants, sooner or later. Your JK is super clean by the way! you just get your hands on it? Ever since I got my 2 door JK it seems like everyone followed suit... :hmm:

It's like those guys running 37s on 30s - It'll work for a while, but better safe than sorry - especially if you're in the middle of nowhere when it happens. Just my two cents.

FWIW: I have a set of 1310 Adam's Driveshafts sitting in my garage I have been wanting to get rid of. $400. Set up for 4" lift. Ran them for about 20k miles, mostly all highway at that point in time. Will also include extra trail spare ujoint (new). The HD solid ujoints. PM me if interested. Would have to ship from Denver area.

Bought it used 6 months ago. with 20,000 km. still got lots of stuff to do on it. New fenders coming today. Should have just bought a Lear jet.
