18/59's and a BB?
Hey there folks,
Is anyone running both the higher rate Jeep coils AND a budget boost on a 2-door? I removed my AEV budget boost to put on 18/59 springs and Rubi-Shocks, but wonder if I would still be w/in tolerance to run stock driveshafts on a 2-door if I put the pucks back in on top of the new springs. From what point of "stock" is this 2" maximum lift figure calculated from? Any experience or ideas?

I am running a 2" BB and 17/58 springs with Bilstien 5100s, for 2.5-3" of total lift. I have had to swap out the rear shaft for an aftermarket one and have driveline vibrations that has caused ujoints to fail, I am adding adjustable upper rear control arms to correct the pinion angle. I have not had any problem with the front driveshaft.
