Default Will i need anything else for my 2-door

I noticed this lift on 4x4 group buy.....

.4x4groupbuy.com/store/rough-country-20072010-jeep-wrangler-suspension-p-11830.html[/url]

What will I need in addition to it (i.e. driveshafts ??.... other stuff)

I wanted to see what would bee the necessary requirements for me to run a lift like this and some 35s ... I really am hesitant to go with new driveshafts... because its so expensive

I couldn't open the link but I would say to spend some time on here reviewing your options before you buy anything.

Do you know the side effects of the body lift? Many don't mind, but many wouldn't touch one. Nothing terrible, just can be semi-shunned upon depending on whom you ask.

How long has it been on, do you disconnect, and how flexy do you get? (ahh, just saw that you have an antirock)

It's only a matter of time. If it's been on for a while, go check the rzeppa (tcase end of the front shaft) and see if you are spitting grease yet. If you disconnect and flex, check the boot for marks/tears from contact with the corner of the tranny pan, and check the shaft below the boot for marks from contacting the crossmember/skid.

You just might be surprised...


(On my unlimited auto, the front boot was fine, but i was spitting grease from the rzeppa and had marks from the skid...)
