2 door auto. Teraflex 2.5 coil lift. (4 door version) My front driveshaft boot got tore up bad after one fairly hard wheeling trip. The rear looks OK, but the angles are pretty steep on both. Looking at new front and rear soon. Along with rear uppers (already have front lowers, and front and rear adj trackbars not they have anything to do with this conversation 
)
Side note: anyone have experience with the driveshafts that reuse the factory flanges?

I have Teraflex.
FYI: Don't follow the Tom Woods info. it is not for stock shafts! Minimize the angle on each joint, but on the back when you start raising the pinion you are pushing the springs toward the track bar. On the front end you set the castor and ignore the angles, hoping your stock shaft will endure the angle for a while.

You can either get correction wedges (RC and a few other companys make them for cheap $20-$30ish) or adjustable spring perchs ( like JKS around $125).
