I'm looking to lift my 2012 JKU Rubi, but am concerned about issues I'm hearing. Does anyone know if the issues AEV has reported with the front shaft hitting the exhaust apply to all lifts or just theirs? I'm considering the RockKrawler 3.5" Midarm kid and the Currie 4" system. I'm not really sure how AEV could have problems but RK and others not, so I'm curious if anyone that has the RockKrawler setup on a 2012 has any issues with the front driveshaft hitting the transmission "skid bar" or the exhaust?

 

I'm not sure if there is any difference with the 12's but I'm also interested. Rock crawler seems to be pretty nice.

 

just installed a RK 3.5 mid arm with tera 1/2" spacers over the weekend(along with other do dads), i talked to them on the phone a few times(had concerns with drive line angles) after it was all said and done, drive line angles are GOOD no vibes just take your time and read the directions and hold the measurments they give you and you should be fine. Im running a coast 1310 front drive shaft and after install all looked fine. 2010 jku

 

Pretty sure OP is wanting to know about the 2012 models and stock shafts specifically. At any rate congrats on the lift.

 

if its a four door, chances are you will have to change ds eventually

 

Yeah, only interested in the 2012 due to the issue with the exhaust pipe...

 

The 2012 has a weird loop in the exhaust, they say it's needed for proper back pressure and should not be removed....hmmm? Looks like it could be a huge clearance issue with some kits. I'd def. Call and make sure they are 2012 compatible.

 

I talked to terraflex today and watched their vid on the exhaust spacer and you won't have to replace ds if spacer is used as it moves exhaust out of path of ds boot. at least thats what I got out of it
