So I'm sure this topic has been beat to death by now, but I have searched and was unable to find what I was looking to know. I currently have an 07 Jk unlimited x 2dr, 6 speed manual, smittybilt fenders, with 35x12.5's on mb72 15" wheels with 4.5" back spacing, and 4.10 gears and a few other mods as well. I'm currently in the market for a 3" lift. Really considering pulling the trigger on a 3" teraflex kit with all 8 flex arms, blisten shocks, etc.

First off anyone have advice about the lift? I've read a bunch of good reviews about it but I personally do not know anyone running it. If you do not recommend it, what would your recommendation be?

Second, I imagine I am going to need to replace my driveshafts. This is where I need to be schooled, how do I know which driveshafts I need? Correct me if I am wrong, but different set ups require a different spline driveshaft? How do I know which spline I need? I do apologize for the newb question but I am trying to make sure I do this the correct way. Any recommendations?

Then final, what do you guys think would be better, buy the 3" flex arm kit which includes the 4 flex arms or all 8? I know by getting all 8 I will be able to adjust my caster and pinion angle, as well as not be limited by my stock control arms.

I'm a college student on a limited budget but I am willing to be more patient and save up more money when it comes to quality and performance. This is also my daily driver, so it would be important for me to be sure the set up I decide to run is going to be something I would be happy with considering I drive about 75-100 miles per day. Once again I do apologize for the newbie questions, and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Buy the Teraflex 2.5" Coil lift, add adjustable control arms for the lowers, buy adjustable front trackbar, add a rear trackbar relocation kit, buy some bilisteins 5100s for a 4-6" lift, add spring retainers in the front and you shouldn't have to worry about drive shaft problems right away.

 

We would go with the kit that has all 8 flex arms. This will help prevent the need for a driveshaft because you can set your pinion angle. Eventually you will need to change your driveshaft but this will help you save it for a little while.

PM us for more information and quotes on anything you need.

 

I have this exact setup. Ride is awesome. No problems at all.

 

Thanks guys, looks like I'm going to go with the 3" full flex arm arm kit, teraflex monster trac bar.

Going to get that going and then replace the drive shafts, anyone able to help be with what shafts I should get?

Thanks you for sending me in the right direction for shafts.
