6" pro comp lift es shocks

first - when this kit says "extended periods of high speeds in 4 wheel high.......you will need a new drive shaft from transfer case" how fast....how long? Is this due to the angle after the lift is installed? second - i used a 2.5" leveling kit.....will this effect the installation of the lift?

are you stacking the 2 1/2" spacer ontop of the pro comp spacer to get 8 1/2" of lift? stacking spacers is not good. get adjustable bilsteins or coilovers

as for driveshafts, 6" you don't need to extend the driveshafts usually. 8" or more of lift usually you need an extended drive shafts.

here in texas we dont need to drive in 4wd for long periods of times at high speeds so i cant be to much more help with high speeds. maybe someone from up north can be of more help with this.

The pro Comp lifts come with the 4 inch blocks and the u-bolts to make it all work. also if you have the money go with the stage 2 kit, the coil overs look better, perform better and give you the easy option to go higher later on down the road. i would say you do not need to extend your drive shafts, also i have no clue why you would need to use 4wd in high speeds for long periods of time. anyways i hope this helps and good luck.

pretty sure they give you a 2.5 inch block to stack on top of your stock block

i wasn't sure what they ment by that...and what is a "high speed" ? or an "extended period of time" ? little vague. I want to go with the stage 2 but short on funds. i figure ill do this now to get it up in the air and then later get the coil overs.....has to ride better as well.
