Yeah with 4 inches of lift you are definitely going to need new driveshafts

ok,, from personal experience. my buddy has an 08 rubicon 4 dr. he has the taller old man emu springs( i think 4"), he has a 1" spacer, and he went with the fox 2.0 8 position adjustable shocks. before this, he had the OME 2.5- 3" springs with OME shocks. after we installed the taller springs with the fox shocks,,,,,,,, un be lievable!!! he is so fast on some of the rough fire roads in big bear,, the guys with lesser shocks cant keep up. he is a firm believer in the OME springs,,, they flex a lot and do it well. he got a great deal on the fox shocks ($1,000) ( aprox) and said they were probably the best money he has ever spent on his jeep!! this is a guy running 37" km2's, fender flares, hansen bumpers, on board air, teraflex arms, winch, lights, and bunches of other stuff. he put a lot into this jeep , and says the fox shocks are the best investment. my suggestion,,,, OME with fox shocks! best of luck!
