The reason my Dad wont let me get a bigger lift then 6 inches is because he thinks that it will mess everything up and the drive shaft will be pointed down and it wont work right. Is this true?

6" will let ya run 35s at least, then you can convince him to let you do a body lift!

No, the 7.5" lift for your 4x2 is the equivalent to the 6" lift on my 4x4. You won't have to mess with drive shafts or any of that sort, it pretty much bolts in to place and you're ready to roll. I actually had the same exact kit from Fabtech for a 4x2 a year or two back, and sold it to another kid on here with the same setup you're running for $1000, and it was a brand new kit.
