I threw on JE Reels and have been very happy with em. I Had Tom Woods on my TJ and was very happy with those too. Really just up to you, both are great. I ran my stock front drive line until I decided to just change it one day. I think I put over 6,000 miles on it with no problems. So, you should be fine without changing it for a while. It really depends on the the axle angle and how your off-roading.

I just installed a 3" FT with the same set up, 2-door, manuall. Will I need new driveshafts?
What's the real deal!! I don't want to have to spend money if its not needed.

I have a 2dr with a 3" FT Ultimate lift and need a new rear DS after 7000k miles. If you wheel it, you will eventually need one. If you stay on the street, maybe light trails you might be ok.
