Lifting 2" with SLS

You shouldn't need to remove the driveshaft, the driveshaft is not limiting articulation, the sway bar is. Some have disconnected the swaybar and put the bottle jack btween the axle tube and chassis.
My DII has ACE and I did not need to disconnect the swaybay. I used a bottle jack and had enough room to remove the spring without a compressor.

During my install, the driveshaft did come in contact with the cross member. However, placing the bottle jack between the axle and the frame allowed the driveshaft to serve as a pivot point for the axle. I carefully used the bottle jack to lower each side. It really doesn't put too much stress on the drive shaft, it just sort of pivots around it on the cross member.
I performed this with both front wheels off, which minimizes the amount of force that you are placing on the driveshaft/crossmember when using the jack.
I didn't have to remove my crossmember to complete the spring install.

If I did it again, I would try the above sequence.
