Help with decesions!
So I got a 09 2 door auto it's my dd and i have only wheeled it once but plan in wheeling a lot more after lifting it and tire change out. Just came into 2500 dollars. I want to get the FT 3in premium plus lift kit. So now here is the kicker. Should I go ahead and get new rims and tires with what's left (would be level 8 strike 5s and Toyo mt) or should I use the money to get DS, flashpaq, and tire carrier? Right now I have 265/70r18 big o big foots for my stock height. Just need help choosing between the options on what is more useful?

Lift it and see how it looks with the current tires especially if they have good tread. Wear those suckers out. You have a two door so im pretty sure you will need a drive shafts. So my suggestion is to buy the parts you will need the soonest.

No one knows that answer. Some people have the front driveshaft break on the first time they go full flex, others after six months. From what it sounds like the front is a crapshoot that will inevitably break. The stock rear driveshaft appears to have a longer life than the front, but it will wear out eventually as well.
