3 1/2" Lift, Stock Front Drive Shaft?
How many of you are running a 3 1/2" or larger lift on a unlimited auto trans and are running the stock front drive shaft?

I ran the stock front on my 2011 for 40k miles with a 3" FT lift that measured closer to 4". The spline boot was gone after the first wheeling trip, but the shaft never failed and I wheeled on some pretty tough trails. The 2012+ seem to have a worse angle though, so I'm not sure how long you can run the stock shaft.
