Has anyone had to replace the drive line after installation on a 2-2.5 inch lift?
Doesn’t make any sense to do so, I don’t think you can get enough droop on a 2” lift to need a driveshaft.

From what I have read. It's not until you get into the 3.5"+ range of lifts.

No rubbing at full turn at all. With either the kendas or the generals I have. No rubbing when I had it straight lifting a wheel. Sway bars connected.

Negative, stock shafts front and rear. Just Clayton front uppers set to stock with the metal cloak drops. No vibrations.

Wheel it hard or pretty mild? Or what's your build purpose? (Use)

Mild, waiting on rh4x4 goodies (ca skid and rhx steps ) and for me to make up my mind on which oil and fuel skid I want. I have a 60 mile commute so I want to keep it reasonable while still doing weekend warrior trails. Aoaa and rausch are in the plans , only had this jeep in vermonts adventure academy so far. I do have a fear that jacking it up too much will void that sweet power train warranty and towing stability.
