Default looking to lift my 2012 jk unlimited sport

I've been doing a lot of research on lift kits, and the overall con census I've found is that 3" and higher require a drive shaft due to auto trans. Anyone running a 3" lift without a new drive shaft? I'm just going to use my jk as a road queen as I've already got a 96 zj as a mud truck. I want it to be capable of going off road but only for dire situations. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be more than greatful!
Thanks!
Brady

Awesome. I've just been worried about it. If I was going to do a lot of flexing I could understand. Any problems with road wander with the lift or shifting lag cause of the 35's?
