You are going to want at lest a new Front DS, and I'd it's lifted 5" you are going to need a new Rear DS as well. And A DS is a DS. It's a shaft of metal with joints on the end. It doesn't matter which one you go with just make sure you get Spicer U-Joints.

I have a 2 door and was told by many jeepers if you go over a 3" lift you need to buy longer front and rear axles.

I have a 4.5" lift and went with coast front and rear drive shafts
