2008 2dr Auto rubicon, 32 stock tires.
2.5 OME lift HD springs, Long travel shocks.
Front drive shaft less than 3 miles, first full flex ripped boot on the front.
Rear was just replaced Which I did not have an issue (YET) did not want to run into issues on the trail.
This is not my daily driver moderate wheeling, only has 6400 miles mostly through the woods.
You might be OK, depends. Lift your jeep keep a close eye on them, plan for the worst that you might have to replace them.

I have a 08 auto 2dr rubi, off-road quite a lot, installed a 2.5 teraflex BB within the first month or so, wheeled it on stock 32in tires first summer, then installed 35in early last spring and wheeled it a lot last summer until late fall, and started wheeling it again a few weeks ago now that most of the snow has melted. I have 35000 kilometers on it now and no issues at all. I wheel with a few other jk's with the same set-up, and they have no issues either.I plan on changing mine out this summer hopefully to put in more lift.
and yes it is my daily driver!
oh and I flex quite a bit, I often hear the tires rub in the fenders slightly!

Thanks Everybody!!!
Hey!
wow all this information helped me alot especially JGKjeep yours made me make up my mind...
I was skeptical of even putting on the lift becuase of the issues with the driveshafts but I guess its a Jeep thing things are gonna break!
Lift should be here tomorrow!!! the only bad thing is i have to get tires and rims first so the box will be sitting in my basement till i get the money for tires and wheels dammit!!!
