Another factor you should consider before lifting your Jeep is other modifications. After installing a lift kit, most people switch to larger tires. But depending on your lift kit, you might need to make other modifications to ensure you have a smooth and safe ride.

The driveshaft transfers force from the transmission to the differential, and when you lift your Jeep, you change the driveshaft angle.
