You will not be able to adjust the caster without atleast a set of front lower control arms. How tall of tires are you going to run?2dr or unlimited? Yes at some point you will need to replace the driveshafts.

Well you can but at this height of a kit, you really shouldn't.

If you are only running 35's, you might look at the 3" lift. Mine runs pretty tall, more like everyone else's 4". Then you shouldn't need any Driveshaft mods on an unlimited, not sure about a 2 door.

You can run 37's with a 3" kit. Look up planman here, he has lots of good input on small lift/big tire setups.
