Default What do I need for 4" lift and 37's??

I know this has been asked a million times, but what do I need.

Currently I have a 08 rubicon, 35" MTZ's, chopped fenders, no real mods.

I wanna know if I purchased a teraflex 4" say, what else would I need.

I would like to know specifically, I always hear driveshafts but what kind and why?

gears for 37s?

on a budget but want to know,
thinking a tera 4" kit, driveshafts and regearing...is that it?

You can keep it all TeraFlex with TeraFlex's knuckle brace and axle sleeve kit. Now I'm running a 4" LA on mine with 37's and stock fenders. Is yours a 2 dr or 4dr? Also I would get 5:38's with 37's.

New driveshafts I recommend CJ Tatton, my local shop uses them for all his custom work and he does a very good job. The shop switched over from using Tom Woods shafts to the Tattons. Tatton will do each driveshaft custom for you, he uses Spicer U joints and all top quality parts. They are really nice driveshafts and unless I get driveshafts from a drivetrain specialist I found locally, they will be what I get. Tom Woods are good too, but more expensive and about the same quality, maybe a teensy tiny bit better but I doubt you will be able to tell. Tom Woods shafts look pretty, thats why people pay more.

Also, think about 5.13s (6spd) or 5.38s (auto), and definitely EVO gussets. You can add EVO sleeves if you really plan to beat the tar out of your rig.
