I met someone this weekend who was running a 3.5" rubicon express standard coil lift with their stock driveshaft. Now I know under full droop it will rub against the exhaust but this guy said he had no issues. Anyone else here run their stock ds on a 3"+ lift? Any idea how long before you will need to replace it?

I am currently running a 2" spacer lift on 33's with a magnaflow exhaust but want to move onto a 3.5" rubicon express lift being that it comes with an adjustible track bar and I like the height. (Looking to upgrade to 35's in the future and rather get the height I want now)

I travel about 5 miles a day for work and occasionally wheel on the weekends. Just looking for a second opinion!

I would go up to a 2.5 lift and will not have to worry at all about drive shaft issues as well as steering. The t/f 2.5 coil lift is a great kit and more then enough room for 35's I am running a 3.5 lift now and going to be switching to the 2.5 t/f very soon.
Any idea how much more lift I will get with a 2.5" TF lift compared to my 2" coil spacer? Will it even be noticeable?

Might sound like a stupid question but I heard many people net more lift than actually adverstised. I just want to know I won't be wasting money for an extra .5" of lift.

Here's a pic of my current setup:

I appreciate everyone's input!

After reading all this and doing further research I think I am going to go with a 3" Rancho Sport lift with RS9000XL shocks. As far as the ds debate goes I was planning on getting a Rancho Exhaust pipe kit .

I only plan on doing some light wheeling and don't really disconnect much.

Will I have issues with the Rancho Exhaust pipe kit with my Magnaflow exhaust?

I've only read good things about this Rancho lift..feel free to chime in

I'm going to pull the trigger on a 2.5" Rock Krawler Stock Mod Lift with Bilstein 5100's.

Anyone have any pics?

(I didn't go with the 3" Rancho cause I rather not worry about the driveshaft)
