Wondering if I go with a RC 2.5BB and 1"bl if I will need new shafts?

Looking for people with a 2 door auto and a 2.5BB to see if there drive shafts held up?

 

You will not need new driveshafts with a 2.5 in lift. I have a teraflex 2.5 and 3/4 spacers up front no problems. Except i did hit the clamp on the ds boot on my tranny skid but i put a zip tie there and everything is good

 

could you flaten this clamp out with a hammer before it would hit the skid?

Also I assume your talking about the front right?

No issues with the rear at all?

 

yes im talking about the front, not sure if you could flatten it out i dont think so. Most people have no issues at all not sure how that happened. And i have NO problems with the rear

 

if you are gonna be running the shock extensions, you shouldn't have any problems. if you will be running new longer shocks, do what the others have said.

 

longer shock or relocate brackets?

 

Look at post #6 here for pics and suggestions concerning driveshaft issues, if needed.

I'm thinkin the way to go is a 2.5BB with the shock extensions and possibly a 1"BL to fit the 35" tires.

I dont wheel the jeep more than 3-4 times a year and around here in michigan there isn't any real rocks to speak of....so ultimate flex isn't really needed.

Going this route should be the most cost effective and save me from alot of additional purchases that I'd rather not make...

This is my DD afterall....lol

 

OOOOoooooooo You get yourself a new bumper? Me likey
