2.5 inch lift and driveshaft on Jku's

Everyone running a 2.5 inch lift, how are your factory drive shafts holding up? I would use the search function but it doesn't work. Thanks for all input in advance.

I installed the RK 2.5 flex on my 2 door, no DS issues yet.

JKU with a 2.5 RK lift. Quite a bit of wheeling over the last year and no issues so far.

I would not be concerned about the driveshaft at a 2.5" lift unless you throw some longer travel shocks on it and are doing full droops often witht the suspension.

Are the front shafts a concern on '14 JKU's with auto trans?

If you are fully drooping the suspension then yes. The driveshaft will make contact with the exhaust
