How do you like your lift? Any problems going 4" with driveline?

Thanks to everyone else with their input as well.

Since I have an Unlimited, the rear drive shaft will not be a problem. On your 2 door you might need a different drive shaft in the rear if you go above 3".

I have an automatic and so far no problems with the factory front driveshaft. I check it every week. If I start to see problems (torn boot) it will be replaced immediately.

I just got that exact setup today. 285 70 17 Duratracs on MT Classic III wheels. I'm running a Teraflex 2.5" LCG longarm.

Hey. Your jeep is looking great. I'm assuming you got the same amount of tire sticking out past the fenders? I'd same is about 1.5 inches or almost to the first channel in the tread. How do you like the look of yours.

Its the way a lifted Jeep ought to look as far as I'm concerned. Yes, the tires stick out past the flares about an inch or so, but that really isn't much at all. If full coverage is what you prefer, then that's how your Jeep should look! Some states REQUIRE full coverage, some don't, keep that in mind as well.
