Question Driveshaft for 6" lift

Do you have to upgrade your drive shaft after getting a 6" lift? If so any good recommendations? I have a 09 rubicon unlimited and plan on getting a 6" Teraflex long arm lift kit and running 37" tires on 17's.

Upgrade your DS. Check out Coast first. Then take a look at Woods and JE Reel.

BTW, excellent choice on the lift kit.

Yes, you will need to replace your front DS with a 6" lift. Rear is a different story, depending on 2dr or 4dr. Take a look at Tom Woods - supposed to be one of the best ones out there.

Here's a link to the FAQ section - it should answer all of your questions.

By the way - sounds like a you're building kick a$$ rig - make sure to post pics once everything is installed!!

TeraFlex also sells drive shafts. Send Joe a PM and he will be able to help you out.
