Whiplash F150 did you have to lenghten the rear driveshaft at all?
I'am getting ready to have my 10" lift installed in the next month or so, I was just wondering about what problems I might have. Did you get instructions with your lift? I got the replacement rear springs, so I will tell you how they are when the lifts in and I've had time to drive around.

 

I didn't have to lengthen the rear driveshaft but you have to purchase the front driveline from Whiplash or have one custom made. I recommend getting the front driveline from Whiplash because they have lifetime gaurantee's and it has a CV joint on the differential end of it which helps alot. The rear springs from whiplash don't look that good, they look like they would ride really stiff and I didn't want to pay $1,000 for custom rear springs which may loose their height over time so I just opted for an 8" block and an add-a-leaf with traction bars which keeps everything in place. The instructions were good but whoever is installing it better know what they're doing.

Whiplash,

I only lifted the rear of my truck a total of 5 1/2 inches but I had to lengthen by driveshaft 1 1/2 inches. That may not seem like a lot but it was short enough to cause my slip yoke bushing to fail. I know your truck is different in the fact you have a transfer case, but you shouldn't have more than 3/4" to 1" of your slip yoke exposed when your truck is at rest. With as much lift as you have, I'm surprised your driveshaft isn't too short.

Secondly, I like you trac bars, who makes them?

 

The distance from the bushing to the end of the slip yoke meaures just over 3". I've had no problems with the yoke being extended out that far and have never heard of any problems from anyone with the same setup. The traction bars were custom made down in Orlando, Florida just south of me, I made the brackets and I have some closeup shots of my suspension in my gallery if you havn't already check it out.
