I am planning on going from a 2.5" bb to a 3.5" coil lift on my 2009 JKU...what else will I need to extend. I have extended brake lines already. Will I need to extend front drive shaft? Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks Sent from my iPad using JK-Forum

You will not have to right away, but I would put driveshafts on the list to replace soon. Being a 2009 there is no telling how long your shafts will last.

I drove around with my stock drive shaft for a few months and didn't have any issues. Depends on how often you wheel it too. I go off road a few times a month. I upgraded and bought a krawl off road drive shaft and it's been great so far.
You might want to think about adj control arms too if your going to 3.5" lift
