you dont need to change anything with only 4", you dont have to change anything with 6" maybe the front drive shaft length but that aint much once you go over 6 is when you have to think about everything else

I fully agree with you, after checking everything I decided not to put the t-case drop in because all my pinion angels are good. The only thing that I may do is grind the stops on the CV end of the front shat if I find any major binding but so far everything checks out. Now to finish my wheel project

you dont need to mess with the drive shaft if it binds then you need to rebuild the "double cardan" with this part (612-NUJ) its the same rebuild kit for ford mopar and chevy that i know of. consisting of the ball and collar, new spring, and the gasket ring for less than $30 go to napa and give them that part number they got me mine on the same day. back a couple years ago my driveshaft was binding and snapping after replacing the part that snap a couple time i noticed even out of the truck it wasnt as smooth as it should of been. so after the rebuild no more problems

Will definitely probably just rebuild it when I am done with the TBI rebuild and replacing the sending unit. Now that the lift is on I a parts pile that is looking really slim...and I don't like it..time to order

So as far as lift is concerned we are done. Now for a Turbo LM7/LS1,2 Heck I will even take LQ4/9 but no 4.8. Hopefully next year While I'm deployed I can start saving for this project or atleast buying the little odd and ends stuff like fuel pumps, lines motor mounts headers and so on...can't wait!
