Cool thanks. Guess I'll just wait to worry about after I get an adjustable rear.

3.5" Game Changer ARB ordered!! Makes it easier to wait when you already have a lift on. It would suck to wait while stock.

I'm very interested to read your unbiased review between your current kit and the new one. Unfortunately, it will be about 6-8 weeks from now... Haha

Hopefully, they will keep it closer to one month so it won't be so hot here when I install it.

What is everyone doing for the exhaust clearance on 3.5"?? Should I use spacers or bite the bullet and swap out the driveshaft??

I installed the 2.5" ARB and installed the TW 1310 driveshafts. I am now going to do the exhaust spacer kit also because when i put the Jeep on the frame lift i notice my limiting factor is still the driveshaft .

Nobody is arguing that you will have to replace them eventually, I know this. But in identical driving habits the 2 dr will need to be replaced sooner.

Front shafts are the same between 2 and 4 door. The rear is more likely to go on a 2 door.

The potential problem with exhaust spacers is that they don't work with most of the aftermarket skids.
