Default Issues with Drive shaft w/ Teraflex leveling kit??

noob here: I just wanted to know if anyone who has the Teraflex leveling kit had any issues with their drive shafts similar to the issues experienced with the 2.5 BB ? I'm looking to do this upgrade in the next week or so and I wanted to avoid torn boots at all cost. I have the 2 door Auto and I have searched the forums extensively but haven't found anything. Does this mean that No news is good news?

Thanks guys

and this forum is perfect.. I can't explain how grateful I am in the money and time I've saved..

The shocks limit the down travel of the driveshafts. If you didn't change the shocks then you didn't change the amount that the shaft will drop. So it shouldn't interfere.

You might also PM the Teraflex sponsor rep. He's on the forum quite a bit, and could probably answer any technical questions you might have.

Once you get it installed, go flex it out and check the clearance. If it's too close for your liking, see post #6 here:

You should be just fine. Typically you can see issues when longer shocks are installed.
