^^Yeah I think whomever you were speaking to must have meant driveshafts and not axles. I have only seen Trailmaster lifts come with DS. You can just buy them seperately though.

I only have a 2.5" lift and this is what I have for my 2 door..I think of it as pretty "complete"
Adjustable Front Lower Control Arms----Set Caster/Pinion angle
Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arms---Set Rear Pinion angle for double cardian drive shaft
2.5 inch lift Springs
Bilstien Shocks for 2.5" lift
Extended rear sway bar links
Front Quick disconnect sway bar links
Front adjustable track bar
Rear track bar bracket
Drop brackets for rear brake lines
Front bumpstop extensions
Rear bumpstop extensions
Front double cardian drive shaft--tore on skid (auto)
Rear double cardian drive shaft--hasn't started to spit grease yet, but only a matter of time

I might have forgotten something, but this is pretty good.

You can add them to any kit. Now if you have a 2012 and go with 3" you will want to replace the front and rear driveshafts.

No it was not.....I have pieced it together over the past 6 months or so. You can buy pretty complete kits from any one of the manufacturers. Teraflex, Rock Krawler, AEV, Full Traction , EVO, Rough Country. Most kits do not come with shocks though, so stay aware of that when pricing things out.

If 33's are what you have in mind I would look at the 3.5" kit. Now to better fit your jeep what type of off-roading will you be doing? What type of terrain? Trails or really aggresive?

I would also go to the thread under the show and tell section labeled show your 33's. You can look at what others have done and see what setup you perfect.
