Default Stock Control Arms

This has been discussed within this forum, but not quite to the specifics I am looking for (or I can find).

I have a 2010 4 door Rubicon (hard top) with a 4 inch Pro Comp lift, which is actually a 2 inch lift, I will omit the rant on that one, with adjustable lower front control arms (EVO) and 35 inch tires.

My plan is to get rid of the entire lift gradually and replace it with a Teraflex 4 inch. My plan is to start with the coils and front track bar replacement. This should get me over 4 inches more than a stock Rubicon.

End game plan full 4 inch Teraflex lift with Teraflex control arms (minus front lower) and aftermarket driveshafts.

Questions...

Are there any problems with this height with the stock control arms (minus lower front)?

What problems will I experience with my stock driveshafts?

Stock uppers with adj lowers will be ok. You can adjust your caster, you just won't be able to move the entire axle forward/backward in the wheel well until you add the adj uppers.

Boots tears, grease spitting out, joints drying, then making noise, then seizing...

What kind of time line do you think I can expect this to happen in? I know it would vary on use, but as an average?
