focus more on how do you spell it (articulation) on a 2 door4 inches with
35s is plenty yet my buddy runs the 4inch superlift with all stock parts and fender flares and hasnt broken anything oh yeah thats right his spends more time parked in his drive way or on the freeway than anything

Well its actually the rock krawler mid arm 5.5. Its a four door rubi. I plan on running 37s or 38s with intentions of going to 40s after i get everything upgraded including the axles.

Trailer Queen:







6" lift on 35's then. Now on 37's. Four door. Lost the front drive shaft on Steel Bender in Moab at about 6k after the lift. Still running on the rear driveshaft with no issues at 28k.

This is what happens when you decide not to change your driveshafts and arms!! With 6 inches lift!

The driveshaft on my 2 door/6 speed had the boot disintegrate, spit grease, then start popping within 6 months of my RK 2.5 X-Factor on 35's. Mine isn't an everyday driver either.
