Default Drive Shaft Questions

Hey guys I was wondering if I get a TF 2.5 Coil Lift and then upgrade driveshafts, would I need to buy another set of driveshafts if I upgrade to a TF 4.0 Coil Lift or the TF Prerunner LCG system.

I've got a two door btw

If you get 3" or more actual lift out of the kit you install you will need new shafts at some point.

Ok but I go from 3 inches of lift to 4-5 would I need to buy another new one?

There shouldn't be a lot of driveshaft length difference between a 3 inch lift and a 5 inch lift. Talk to the vendor to get their suggestion, or just split the difference and order one for a 4".

If you get one that is too long and you do not have enough slip during articulation it will break the T case.
