BIggest lift

Right now i have a 2000 F-150 4.6l V8 with a 3 inch body lift and want to put a suspension lift on but dont want to re work everything. SO my question is how high can i go before the drivesahft and all the good expensive stuff need to be reworked. I was thinking of a 6" procomp. but any input would be appreciated.

i am about as high as you can go check my sig, i am about 11" total lift on all 4 corners, my pinion angle is perfect and my driveshaft (rear) is only pulled out 1.5" over stock at normal suspension travel(level sitting on street) and it only pulls out another 1" at full drop still leving like 3-5" still in the tranny, if i was you i would go with the fabteck lift it is a better lift in my opinion

You should be fine with a 6" lift.

Fabtech makes a nice kit.
