Default 2013 Driveshaft or Exhaust Spacers?

My 2013 4dr rubi will be here this week. I am putting my 3'' Teraflex lift and 35'' trail grapplers on it as soon as it gets here. I have a brand new set of exhaust spacers and a brand new Coast 1310 cv driveshaft. I am going to sell or return one of the two. Im pretty sure I know the answer to this question but which one should I keep and which one should I return??

Yeah I figured the driveshaft would be the winner lol. I just wanted to make sure. If nothing else it would just be cheap insurance to make sure everything operated properly and decreases my chances of running into problems.

with my rk2.5 lift, i am currently using both spacers and 1310 coast shaft. initially with the shaft alone, the thing would slightly sit on the exhaust pipe but I could still move the shaft freely. Just to make sure that it wouldn't cause any trouble, i installed both.
oh, btw, i have 2012 2 door. Yours might not come any close to touching with d/s alone but I would wait till you check before selling...

Looking for a front driveshaft as well, is the coast the same as the Rugged Ridge? Is it plug and play? Can they be used on a Rubicon?

I have a 2013 rubi and they said the 1310 cv coast front driveshaft would be perfect. That's what I had delivered to me today

How much and where from? Let me know if it's plug and play or do you have to change yokes.
