    Haha ya. The lift came with 2.5" coils and a set of 1" spacers. But im leaving the spacers off till i get tires and my drive shafts come in. Anything higher than3" and ill rip a DS boot when flexing. So im gonna wait till my drive shafts come in before i add the extra 1" of lift!!!

    nice video..truck still sucks though :cool:

    those 4 doors look weird without large tires on them...i'd definitely get some sliders on that thing soon too...such long wheel base seems like you'll be hitting sooner than later...

    LOL that is all !

    Like the 2007-2011 JKs, the 2012 JK uses Rezeppa-style driveshafts rather than a conventional driveshaft. What this means is that rather than a traditional U-joint, the stock driveshafts utilize a non-serviceable joint that has a much narrower operating angle than a regular U-joint. This, by itself, is nothing new because JKs have had Rezeppa-style joints from the beginning. What IS different is that the new Pentastar engine is positioned in the chassis with a much steeper downward angle than the previous engine, and the exhaust configuration is completely different. This is important for two reasons:

    First, the stock operating angle of the front driveshaft on a 2012 is 9.25 degrees, which is 3.25 degrees more than a stock 2007-2011 JK, or the equivalent of running a 2.5”-3” lift. This steeper angle places the front driveshaft operating angles at the extreme limit of the Rezeppa-style joints at stock height, so even a mild 2” lift on a 2012 forces the front driveshaft joints beyond what they can handle.

    Second, the new exhaust configuration places the exhaust crossover tube under the front driveshaft. Even a small 2” lift will cause the front driveshaft to make contact with the crossover tube unless steps are taken to limit the downtravel.

    The bottom line: in the best case scenario, even a mildly lifted ’12 JK will experience accelerated front driveshaft wear. One that is lifted taller, say 3” to 6”, can result in front driveshaft failure in just a few thousand miles. (This Vendor) has seen front driveshaft failures in as little as 2,000 miles, sometimes with catastrophic results. In the best case scenario, the driveshaft starts vibrating excessively and is addressed before failure occurs. In the worst case scenario, the driveshaft joints fail and take the transfer case or transmission with it! This is especially important information for people who flat-tow their JKs, where problems at highway speeds may not become apparent until it is too late.

    What You Can Do:
    If you plan on lifting your ’12 JK up to 2”, making sure there are provisions to limit the downtravel enough to avoid contact with the exhaust crossover tube may help front driveshaft longevity slightly. Beyond that, there’s not much more you can do with the factory equipment. The joints would last longer if they could be serviced regularly, but since the joints are not serviceable and are operating beyond their factory design limits, the best advice is to keep a close eye on things and hope for the best.
