I have a 2012 JKUR with a BDS 4" lift in the rear and 4.5" in the front. I want to install 1" spacers to give me a little more and compensate for some recently added armor.

I have a front shaft sitting in the garage ready for install as my stock shaft blew its seal and needs to be replaced.

My question is how much can I lift the rear before I have to worry about the rear shaft tearing like the front?
Am I safe to install the extra 1" without having to worry about it?


I'll have 5" total lift with 35's...

Thanks!!

 

Bueller....... Anybody with 2012s? Know at what lift point is a rear DS needed?

 

Bumpage!! !!!

 

the factory rear shaft is really long and you should be okay for a while. if it were me, i would just run what you have until it breaks or, you can afford to replace it.

 

I couldn't tell you but I'll bump this to the top for uou

 

Right on, pretty much what I did with the front and it worked so might as well. Actually just put the hardtop back on and I'm sure once I add the tire carrier I'll probably just end up back where I was.
Thanks!
