Rear is no issue at all. Front would be mostly determined by how much offroad you do and what shocks you go with. If its a street jeep, you'll never have an issue with the front shaft, if its going to see a good bit of trails/rocks etc, you'll wear out the front shaft in the long run.
ok awesome! thank you so much for your reply's its made my choice very easy!

thank you that is exactly what I was thinking. It would require a replacemetn of the drive shaft in the front correct? what about the rear?
Reaper. I have 37 BFGs on stock rims and 2.5 lift. I did not have to trim, no rub and took it on 1/2 of the Rubicon last year. No problems. Love it.

However, If you have the cash for the lifts your are looking / looking for a bit more clearance that is sweet as well.

No spacers but my BFG muds are 12.50 wide/not 13.50. For me..for now..I like that they do not stick out/tucked in. I just have the rubicon express spacer lift. It drive great now that I have the adjustable lower control arms to keep that caster around 6 + degrees .

At the lake last weekend. The other trucks could not get close to the lake like I did.

What did you decide to go with? After these years how’s it performed and held up for you? Profile pic looks like MC but after reading I thought you’d go with RK.
