How come for the 3 inch LCG lift it says driveshaft modification recomended but on the 4-6 inch models it states driveshaft modification is required. What is the hazard with a 3 inch lift, I thought clearance was okay on 3 inchers......

a lot of people have different opinions about lifts. I too have the sport francho lift, and I think is great all around, it works a lot like a long arm lift, you get great flex at a very good price. but I don't want to confuse you anymore, as I can tell you're already confused.

The front driveshafts on a auto JK have very little clearance with the front crossmember with a 3"+ kit. The factory driveshafts were designed to run flat and not at lift angles. Several JK owners have ran stock shafts for several thousand miles, while others have broken/worn theirs out in a shorter distance. So it's better to replace ahead of time then to have the shafts go out on the trail in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah im curious too. My buddy has a 4 inch teraflex suspension with control arms and it drives so much better than my full traction ultimate and thats with 37 inch krawlers too.
