Bought my JLU last week and instantly installed the Mopar 2" lift, 20"x9" Fuel Vapors w/325X60X20 Nitto Ridge Gapplers.

I'm new to the Jeep life but already selling plasma to pay for mods.

Total raise after all installed (see pics) is 5.25".

ASK:
Should I put in a new driveshaft?

I’m assuming that height includes lift plus tire size? How much lift did the kit give you? Normally you only think about changing driveshaft if you get 3.5” or more of lift.
3.25" with just the lift. The tires and wheel gave an additional 2" height.

I think you’ll be fine with factory driveshaft. Just inspect if you wheel it to make sure, if it’s mostly on pavement, you’ll be ok. The shocks that come with that kit aren’t long enough when fully extended to tear anything up. You may want to get some adjustable track bars to center your axles, at 3-1/4” height they’re probably off. Also you should get adjustable lcas, you’ll need more caster at that height to make it drive sweet....:)
