Default Want to run 37" tires, can I keep my drive shafts (2011 Rubicon-U)?

I have a brand new Rubi 2011 4 doors, automatic. If I buy Rock Krawler 3.5 long arm kit - will I be able to run 37s and still keep my drive shafts? Or should I go with 5.5 lift and replace the driveshafts ?
I really don't want throw away brand new drive line parts that can be used without compromising too much of durability / performance of overall setup.
Thanks for advice.

I have stock front and rear shafts on my JK, 50k miles since I lifted it. 37s for the last 8k. 35s before that. No issues with many wheeling trips.
