Okay Im considering either the 3" teraflex or the 2.5.

Will i be able to clear 35's with the 2.5 inch lift.

And will i have to replace my driveshafts with the 3 inch lift??

Ill be calling Teraflex tomorrow but i think they are closed right now.

I talked to Joe at Teraflex about this same thing. The 2.5" coil lift will give you 3" or so which is the max you should go without drive shafts, track bars etc. It will clear 35's on it's own.

Here is a thread on it.

You'll probably have some minor rubbing with the 2.5" lift. I would advice installing a 1" body lift in addition to the 2.5" lift instead of going with a taller suspension lift. It helps keep your center of gravity lower and gives you more room for tire stuffage.

With a 3" lift on a 2-door you won't have to replace your driveshafts immediately. Eventually you will need to replace them. The rear shaft usually lasts longer than the front.
