Default Looking to lift 2dr but..

Am thinking everything is adding up quick wanted the 2.5-3.5 from teralex or rock crawler but don't want to have to spend on new drive shafts,
Am I able to use stock shafts with a yolk conversion?
What are you guys running?

What year 2 door? Typically with any of our 2.5" Systems, the OEM driveline will work just fine! Good Luck with your build. Let us know if you have any questions.

I have a 2012 2 door, so the stock Drive Shafts are ok anywhere from stock to 2" of lift. Anything over that will most likely lead to DS failure fairly quick. I am choosing to go with a 2" lift front and rear and use aftermarket flat flares for clearance. I love the look, and I don't have to worry about drive shafts. This setup will clear 35's with proper bump stops, and a 1" body lift with flat flares and rear bump stops will clear 35's as well.

High Clearance Adjustable Lower Control Arms Front and Rear
Stainless Steel Brake Lines Front and Rear

I went with the 2.5 max travel for my 2 door and have been more than impressed on and offroad with it and haven't had any driveshaft issues yet.
