Rubicon Express 3.5 Super Flex Short Arm Lift
Hello all, I'm about to install the RE 3.5 SuperFlex Short Arm lift on my 07 2 door, directions say I will need to replace the front & or rear drive shafts. Does anyone have any install advice or experience with this lift. Even shaft brand advice. Thank you in advance.

being that you have a 6-speed, you should be fine with the front stock shaft. being that you have a 2-door, you will want to replace your rear shaft sooner than later but, you can hold off for a while or, at least until i starts to show signs of failing. you will know when this is happening when grease starts to spit out from the cv boots. having said that, i would recommend a coast of je reel shaft as they come with spicer or neapco u-joints right out of the box. you will also need a set of rear upper adjustable control arms to set your pinion angle.

This lift I believe already comes with upper adjustable control arms, as long as it's the same as their 2012 lift. I think they have just one kit for all year JK's.
What shocks are you going with?
Looking forward to your review.

I went with the recommended Rubicon Express Mono tubes by Billstein calibrated for this lift

should I size the new control arms to the length of the original ones?
