Rancho Lift

For you guys with a rancho lift did you have to rebalence the driveshafts like with the fabtech one? Also would it be ok to run moto metal 951's with this lift and 35in bfg??

Nope, no driveshaft work. And I currently run 35" BFG KO ATs on wheels with 4.5" of BS (6089s). No issues. Your Moto metals should be fine.

the wheels are definitly fine and you shouldnt have to balance the driveshaft. I have the fabtech and I didnt have to on it. It was "optional" but its not a big deal. Actually I just snapped my front driveshaft maybe I should have balanced it

you don't have to balance the front driveshaft

but you do have to pull drive shaft off and pull slip yoke apart and
grind the masterspline out so you can set the yokes in sync. on fabtechs

and kick *** if you didn't do that it could definatly cause failure
running steep enough that it might not articulate smooth.
