Mine with a 2.5" RE lift did not require new driveshafts, and I did the tierod flip as opposed to the dropped pitman arm. I recommend the RE kit as it is extensive and very good quality.

Is the tire rod flip a hard process? I've never done one of them before...

It probably reminds them of the time they stumbled into a straight bar.

There's two different kits. I used the Rock Equipment kit on mine which requires a reamer (several of us who've purchased the reamer will lend it out...mine has been all over the country). You ream the tops of the holes in the knuckles, pop some sleeves (that's what you'll buy from Rock Equipment) into the bottoms which basically fill in the stock taper, then re-install your linkage from the top side. The other kit is made by Goferit...I have a buddy who used that one. You have to completely drill the holes out straight, then pop their bungs into the holes and weld them to the knuckles...basically there's no going back, your knuckles are permanently modified with this kit.

It takes the place of the drop pitman arm, so your linkage behaves like stock. Complete? It's just sleeves/bungs, nothing else to it other than your labor.
