Default newbie Question?

I currently have a RE BB. I want to upgrade to something better and i was looking at the Full traction 3" economy lift. so i have the option of making into a premium or ultimate later on if i want.
My question is do i have to mess with the drive lines? or is it just an option?

i have another question i have a 2008 unlimited rubicon and i really want ot run 35" will i need to regear?

Thanks for the help..

I have the FT 3" econo lift and as a side note it's a good lift. I have a 2 dr and did not have to do any driveline changes which is one of the reasons I stayed with a 3", although the say with the Unl. you can go to a 4" without driveline changes. With the regearing question do you have an auto or stick?? I just put 35's on mine after running 33's for about 1 1/2 yrs... and though I noticed a difference it wasn't to drastic but will probably go to 4.88s when I can afford it (I'm running 4.10's with the 6 spd). If you're running an auto then from what I've gatherd on this site you should go to 5.13's. Hope this helps.
