Default Poppin out of 1st ocassionaly!?

Hey guys I recently acquired my 2008 JKU 6 speed manual with a 3.5" lift and 35s. The previous owner told me that it had come out of first on him once or twice and within the first week Of owning it its happened to me a couple times. I have used the search engine here and can't find anything really. Has this happened to anyone before and what has resolved this?
Could it be that the 1st gear synchro is going out?

Any help is appreciated guys. JEEP ON!
