Hey guys. I'm looking into getting a lift on my 2013 JK. I want to get a 3.5 or 4.5 Rubicon Express lift with 35" Baja Claws on stock rims. I want to know everyone's thoughts on which size I should go with and if I'm going to have to do any other mods with the lift (i.e. drivetrain). I have looked into this multiple times and can seem to find any straight answers. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

You will need new front and rear drive shafts with anything 3" and up.

 

3.5" for your 35's. wheel spacers for your stock rims. Coast 1310 double cardan front ds only. Crown extended brake lines instead of relocation brackets.

 

One more. Do yourself a favor and do the grade 8 bokt kit from NR at the same time

 

I'm pretty sure if its a 2 door he's going to need a rear drive shaft as well. The 4-door doesn't. I may be wrong though.

 

I just finished a 4 inch lift on my 2013, the front drive shaft is a must, the rear is not that bad.

 

I read a bunch on this as I also have a 2013 JKU and I'm getting ready to lift it. Everything I read states that you only need a smaller diameter front driveshaft if disco'ing.

 

Every lift is different. I have seen 3" lifts leave only 3/4" clearance between front DS and crossmember. If you lift does this dont expect that DS to last.

 

This. I wouldn't go over the 3.5" lift for 35's.

 

I have a quick question.. I'm on a 3 inch lift and my front driveshaft finally broke 2 weeks ago. For now it has just been removed thus making me a mall crawler. Anyway, I found a front d/s on Craigslist for 150$(thinkin I can get It for 100$) and it's for a 2013 rubicon unlimited. I have a jku x will it work?
