Question 2.5” lift kit + 1” body lift kit! Would that be enough?

2.5” lift kit + 1” body lift kit! Would that be enough to clear 37”s with keeping the stuck drive-shaft? I’m not willing spend lots of money. So, that’s why I don’t want to do anything in the dive-shaft.

I know that 37”s are really big. So, If that doesn’t work, I would probably stay with 2.5” lift kit and 35”s tires.
Do I need anything else beside the spacers? I mean, do I need to change the drive-shaft as well?
I need your advise!

I run 2.5 coil lift plus a 1 inch body and my 36" Iroks rub slightly. I would stick to the 35's if I were you.

I was running a 2.5" BB with 1.25" BL and I would rub with 35s under any significant amount of flex. This could give you a reference point to consider.
