You will definatly need to replace the driveshafts eventually. The factory shaft rides fine but the rubber boot at the cv joint near the transfercase is pinched a little and won't last long. That being said, I would say the stock should last about a year. On a side note mine was done on my 2012 JKU and I have about 1/4" before I hit the exhaust crossover pipe at full flex. So, after I get the new driveshaft I shouldn't have to buy the AFE Y-pipe.

Trying to pick a reasonable priced lift that doesn't need a lot of 'extras' for a JK has become a rather difficult choice, simply because there is so much choice and so much variation between lifts.

I have the Rusty's 3.25" with a 3/4" front spacer. I think Rusty's products are great. Rusty himself sells his products (Jeep Beach and Jeeptoberfest Florida), nice guy. I will definitely purchase more from them.

I'm happy with the lift I got from Rusty's. My jeep has a heavier back end than most with roof rack, bumpers, and towing and I noticed sagging. So i ordered beefier springs from him for 110 bucks, problem solved.

This and we do have a great relationship with them. Another aspect of our business is the DIYer who use our tabs and builder parts so those show(s) on Powerblock are a nice fit.
Thanks all for the kind words as well.
We are proud to make and sell our products here in the USA.
Happy holidays!
