will my stock drive shafts last
I am thinking of up grading from a 2 inch mopar lift to a 4 inch teraflex on my 4 door jk. does anyone know if i need to get new drive shafts also or will i be ok with the stock ones..
Plan on getting around 5" from those coils. Your rear shaft should last a while, the front more than likely will not.
With a bit over 3", I lost my front driveshaft at about 6k miles.

The TF 4" nets you more like 5.5" so plan for it. The center boot will tear off when disco'd and fully flexed (hits the oil pan and skid) and the cv boot will eventually tear and spit out grease near the Tcase and eventually fail. You can run it for a long while if you don't wheel it. But if you plan on wheeling, you might as well get it off the bat.

My front one is throwing grease and I have less than 1000 miles on it since the 4 inch lift. Happens pretty fast after you lift it. No hard-core wheeling in those miles, it just didn't make it very long.
