2dr w/ auto trans lift...what should I get???
Ive been looking at the TF 2.5 coil lift. Ive heard that its possible for the drive shaft to hit the trans pan at full flex. Also heard of people chewing uo front shafts every 30k-40k. I don't need more than 2.5 but but current leveling kit just isnt enough. Anyone out there with a 2dr w/ auto run into these issues?

The issues begin if you exceed 3inches of real lift. Then not only the front but the rear driveshaft need to be replaced, too in a 2dr auto. You won't have any issues with a 2.5 inches lift.

Are you speaking from first hand experience?
I killed a front driveshaft within 2k miles on my Teraflex 2.5. I also have 2dr Rubi auto. I recently killed my rear @ Rausch. Got at a 45 deg angle, gas'd it, and pop. Stripped the rear splines.
I wheel mine harder then most, but I would suggest swapping both the front and back.
