Default Driveshaft replacement needed on 2.5" TeraFlex lift kit?

I am putting the 2.5" TeraFlex lift kit on a 2009 Rubi JKU. Got the exhaust spacers and front track bar. My question is do i really need to change out the front drive shaft right away or am i over thinking it? And if i do need to change it which would be the better choice: tough country or pro comp CV? Advice would be great or just get me pointed in the right direction or to a previous thread that hos covered the issue.

You will not need a new front drive shaft or exhaust spacers on a 09. Exhaust spaces would only be needed on a 12+ with the 3.6 with 3 or more inches of lift. Your driveshaft will be fine with 2.5 lift, and I would save your money for other mods.

You should be fine. Just keep an eye on the boots and watch for slinging grease. If you disconnect and have longer shocks and spend a lot of time flexed, check them more often.

And if you decide to swap a driveshaft at some point in the future, post again for recommendations or read through a few of the threads already here. (Tom Woods, Coast, JE Reel, Tatton, Adams are all popular. If you haven't been to Tom Woods website, there is some great info there.)
