Totally agree!! I have same lift but on 4 door. Love it on and off road!!

Quick question. If you stay under 3.5" lift do you still have to by other parts (exhaust relocation, front drive shaft, etc.)? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

 

It's not lift height, but how much droop there is (max extended length of shocks). With a 2012+, if doesn't take much before your driveshaft will hit the exhaust crossover when the axle is drooped. That said, in reality, both wheels are usually never extended at the same time. I ran a 1310 shaft with the Game Changer plus 6pak shocks and left the exhaust. Yeah, if both shocks were extended, there was contact with the exhaust. Reality, I never had a contact issue offroad.

I am not a fan of the spacers. Regardless, do one or the other, but no need for both.

 

X 3. I have the 3.5"Game Changer with 6 Pack on my DD. Love the ride.

 

So if I only went about 2.5 and did not do any extreme crawling where both tires would drop a lot, then I would not have to worry about a driveshaft or exhaust spacer?

 

Even in extreme rock crawling, usually one tire is stuffed. Anyway, you need to do one of the two options, but I don't think both are needed.

 

Appreciate the info.

 

One note on the driveshaft - the issue you are referring to is clearance with the exhaust. You can also run into a problem with the joint at the tcase end of the shaft. Kinda the same deal, there is no set lift height number where you will or will not have an issue, it's the overall height, whether you disconnect, shock length, etc, etc.

Just something to be aware of, and another item to add to the list of things to check as part of normal maintenance.

 

Thanks

 

When I talked to somebody on phone at MC, he said their lift is designed to work with stock driveshafts. But like other people have mentioned, it is possible at EXTREME droop that front dshaft could slip apart. I am running the 3.5" ARB, so I opted for new longer 1310 front shaft just to be on safe side. You should be fine with stock shaft and mild crawling.
