You only need to have Drive Shaft mods when you do a suspension lift (I'd say over 3"), add dual cases or relocate axles.

Body lift wouldn't change your drive train at all. Nor would 33's because it moves everything together.
If you see it, its for sale.

but hes talking about flat bellying it, so it would change things since hes raising the drive train. i think you will be fine with your drive lines. front may need to be redone but rear should definatly be fine

yeah i dont think anyone was noticing the flatbelly in his first post.  i agree with Steve, rear driveline will be fine, but your front will need to be changed or it wil fall apart when you flex it alot.  I would recommend just buying a long spline kit for the front. The stock drivelines just dont have enough slip for a flexy suspension.
