Here is mine with a 4" lift and stock driveshafts. The only problem I have had was the front driveshaft rubbed on the skidplate when the swaybar was disconnected. That was solved by cutting a notch in it. I recommend getting a lift with adjustable control arms so you can adjust the angle of the driveshafts. Anyway, here are some pics of mine:

5inches of suspension lift/ running the stock driveshaft right now cause the jereel is noisier. My skid and crossmember are notched and lowered, the band on the ds for the boot was replaced with a zip tie so it doesn't hit the tranny pan.

I'm wanting to run some 37s. I have more than enough clearance. Just need a 44 up front first. Semper Fi
