Good info to know. My plans are a 2.5" or 3" coil lift with a 1.5 BL and run 37 ATZ's with a fender chop and DIY stubbie. As funding comes available I too will eventuall change out the control arms and track bars. I just didn't want drive shaft issues right from the start.

Thanks

only thing I lowered with my tera 3" was my balance in my bank account. Worth every penny though!

My shafts are fine. Stock.

I also have the 4dr unlimited X.

Where the shaft issue comes into play is that you won't want to run stock forever. The angle will eventually cause undue wear.

You can get a great set of coast shafts from Dave at northridge front and back for under a grand.
Blew out my front driveshaft in July. Got almost 15000 miles on it after the lift. I knew it was coming but I knew it meant I got to install a much better driveshaft.
