awesome thread....I love the pics and info about rock krawler. Those running 3.5" lifted 4drs, is the front driveshaft a "need" or ok to stay stock and upgrade a year or so down the road? Basically I'm trying to make sure I don't cause the domino effect immediately by going 3.5 over 2.5. I'd rather get in on 3.5 flex system, then go to other things and come back to drive shaft and upgrading the suspension further after everything else was addressed

If I go 3.5 I'll probably get a driveshaft immediately so I don't have to waist time and money on a an exhaust spacer. What about drag link flips? Something that can wait or something that should be considered as a need with the 3.5".
I already know the cost will be a battle with the wife....but she has short term memory so I am trying to figure out what I can spread over a few months and what's sort of a package deal.

Finally was able to get out in a section of the TN Dirt Devil and stretch out my new RK 2.5 mid arm kit. Overall very impressed with the ride, nothing in the trail was that tough but a great Sunday drive.

What is the Fox Shock product number that you decided to go with? Also, what size bumpstops are you running (2" or 3")?
I just upgraded my 2.5 Stock Mod to the full 3.5 X Factor and my original Fox shocks aren't tall enough.
