Smitty, did you do ANYTHING to your drive shafts and what back spacing are you running, lift(") and tire size.

 

Im running stock drive shafts on mine i have 11" of lift and 39.5 irocks with 4.5 back spacing my set up is 8" rize with 3" spacer with 5" leaf pack rize 6" blocks. fx4life and i have some weird cv angles but like he was saying no problems what so ever with my truck i run it every weekend. Im not saying things arent going to brake parts brake you have to build it for what ever your going to do with it. pm me if you would like to know anything about my truck ? glad to help that is what we are all here for.

 

thanks everyone for your inpuit and knowledge on the subject, especially the folks with first hand knowledge. I spoke with the shop that will be putting the lift on my truck and they said they have already done 2 this year and have had no issues with the stock drive shaft. I will be running the 37/12.5R20 Nitto Trail grapplers. I may stick woth the wheels I have but I am in the process of traiding for a set that I like better. Its going to be areound 4,600 for the lift, installed, tires installed and front end lined up. so I am fairly happy with the price and now all I half to do is save up for it. lol

 

Don't forget to re-gear to 4.88s or higher. http://www.truckmodcentral.com/forum...ead.php?t=4159

 

you can always go with a 6in fabtech or procomp crank ur coils add a leaf for the back. theres your 8 inches of lift you want... idk thats a easy way just a suggestion.

 

Well I wont be able to regear as soon as I get the lift, I dont think. Depends on how the money looks.
Greatwhite(love the name), I dont like the looks of just a 6" lift, perfere not to half to add anything to get a full 8" and I really like the looks of the Rize front sections. I think for the quality of the product and the price I will be paying for install and everything, you cant beat it.

 

I sure haven't my man. Been three years now and still no problems!!!

 

Smitty I wish I had your luck. I'm ready for a re-balance on my 2nd custom aluminum one or pony up for a 3rd custom steel double cardan d/s.... argh!
