2012 jk 3.25" lift question
I heard the exhaust rubs with a 3"+ lift when flexed. Can I run the 3.25 in front and just 2.5 in rear? Or will the pipe still rub?
Thanks in advance

Everything I have read says you will have rubbing issues on anything over 2" of lift. The amount of lift in the rear should make little difference. I am running a 2.5" BB on my 2012 but left the shocks the same so it should be fine. I hope to do some rocks this weekend to see how it flexes.

Did you also have to replace the front Drive Shaft? I've herd that if you lift a 2012 any bit of height you have to replace the front Drive Shaft because it puts it at a bad angle? is this true?

Mine doesn't look too bad, but I don't think that I would want to go any higher than it is now. It drives like a champ. I'm taking it wheeling for the first time this weekend.
