driveshaft question
I got the light load OME front and Med rear for my 2dr JK.....as of right now it has yielded close to 2.5 up front and 3 inches in the rear.
Do you guys think it will require new driveshafts as well?
I go wheeling about once a month, nothing hardcore but just like to have fun.

My guess is you probably will at some point. I have a little higher lift, which puts me at a bit more of a disadvantage, but with mine being a DD and not getting to do as much 'wheeling as I'd like, I got 11k before the rear bearings finally gave up on me.
Having said that, it's not something I would worry about right now until it happens. Just keep an eye on the boots, making sure they're not torn. And if the bearings are about to go (or are in the process) you'll hear 'em. That's been my experience...
