Default RockKrawler 2.5" or 3.5"

Want to add a lift to my 2013 2dr JK Rubicon, 6 manual, due by end of Nov. I understand that if you by the RK 2.5" and put it on a 2door you get more than 2.5". Anyone have experiance with this? I want to run 35's without changing or cutting my fneders but don't want to deal with the driveshaft replacement right away. Also will I need to out the exhaust extension on? Feedback?

If you have the 2dr, definitely get the 2.5. I got around 3.5 from it even with the added weight from my bumpers and winch.

Did you put new drive shafts or exhaust extension on it?

Yes you will need the exhaust spacers on 2012+. You can buy them from a vendor and bolt them in, or your local exhaust shop can weld some for the same price.

As with Driveshafts, you "shouldn't" need new ones, even netting 3.5". Since you've got the Manual, you don't have to worry about the auto tranny skid plate.

I would suggest doing some controlled flexing to make sure though.
