Driveshaft Length and Angle

At what lift height do you need to start worrying about the angle and length of your driveshaft? Ive looked at a 6" ZONE lift and it says that it MIGHT be required and as for other 6" and 8" lifts I haven't seen it say anything reguarding this topic. I have a 07 4x4 Supercab

I can't say for sure but I can tell you I don't have an extension on my 6" bds with AAL. My back should come out to be taller than yours with the zone so I wouldn't see why it would be needed.

A spacer for the rear driveshaft will be included with the lift. For a 6" that's all you need. I guess you don't need anything more for an 8"

What he said^. But since every truck is just a little bit different than the other some may need it some may not. You won't really know until you have it installed.

If you don't have driveline vibration then you don't need it, you'd know after going a mile down the road if you needed it or not.

Thanks.. Nope I don't have vibration. Is the spacer something that comes with the kits or should I have bought it separate? Not that it matters now but mine didn't come with one. I used everything I got.

If it comes with the kit then you need to use it, if it doesn't it's either optional or not required.
