2014 jk shock/driveshaft question

[Jk_Overland]

Hey guys, ive got a 2014 2dr 6speed and im currently running the evo leveling kit. The front springs are capable of quite a bit of travel and my rubi shocks that im currently running just weren't long enough so i ordered a set of bilstiens that are ~25 inches extended length. Im running stock bumpstops and stock rubi tires so this should net me real close to 9.5 inches travel up front. So my question is, at full droop will i run into driveshaft issues up front? Or is a 25 inch shock going to keep my driveshaft at a reasonable angle and off of my crossover pipe?

Thanks in advance!
Adam

I think you will be fine, it's when you are 3" or more in lift then start flexing it out like that.

I have a 2014 Rubicon X with 2.5 budget boost, and I swapped to King 2.5 shocks, as I hated the stock shocks. I run the stock bumps, and can go full extension on the shocks without a drive line problem.





One of the main reasons for going with Kings is that I also play in sand washes, and when the whoops show up, the stock shocks would go from full compression to full extension without any control, popping the front wheels off the ground in the process. Totally uncontrolled. The king shocks ride better everywhere and keep the wheels on the ground without sacrificing the ride. The only problem is the King shocks cost $2000....ouch.

You will be fine...
