I bought the Teraflex 2.5 coil loft 4 door version for my 2 door. Stock bumpers and I sit about 3/4 to an inch lower than another 2.5 coil lift I met up with this past weekend. I think he told me it wa a Rock Krawler but I can't remember, long night. I am worried about sag when I add the frint stubby and rear bumper.

Then to add to my worries, my front drive shaft is throwing grease. ?? If I would have known this (having to buy a drive shaft) I would have just waited and bought a 3 inch lift.

Mine on the left and his on the right. Trying to get his 2.5 coil lift name and specs

Getting ready to order this kit for my 2013 jki (all stock for now). With this 3" height....will my front drive shaft be ok withbonly e haust spacers? Or, will this put my driveshaft at too steep of an angle?

I just purchased a teraflex 3.5 lift for a 2 door JK. I will say this that a I had 4 inch skyjacker garbage lift just my thought. The flex is a awesome lift. Since I live in va close to the outer banks. And do most of the off road on sand the ride quality is awesome both on and off road. My suggestion is make sure the shop u buy it from is good and explain the diff. In lifts. I will say this that if get the flex u will love it since mine is a daily driver it rides better than my stock 4x4 f150. And if the shop u are dealer with is honest will match the proper springs and shocks for the type of daily driver and wheeling u do.

You will not have an issue with your driveshaft as far as angle, you will most likely need an exhaust spacer though as you will see when you articulate the driveshaft will contact the crossover pipe.
