2.5" to 3" - New drivetrain - Yeah or Nay?!
Hey guys, I'm clearly a noob and reading and getting conflicting info. Im mostly a DD and not looking to spend money I don't have to. If is stay 3" to 2.5" lift on 35's do I or don't I have to redo my drivetrain and possibly get a flip kit for the rear? Don't most of these issues crop up over 3" of lift? Looking mainly now at RK 2.5" or EVO Enforcer 3".

2" doesn't mean you will be fine, and 4" doesn't mean you have to replace everything. So 'Yeah' or 'Nay'? My opinion lands somewhere right in the middle with a 'maybe'. No one can tell you for sure what you will want, or what you will need. Too many variables.
Keep reading and figuring out what the various components do, and at what heights people start wanting to replace or upgrade them. Also good to read up on all of the various problems and issues other people have come across, what they chose to do about it, and how much it cost them.
