With the 5" TG springs, will I have to length the rear drive shift? its an 82 with a 2" body lift. Thanks

on my runner with 5in. springs i did not need to lengthen it. you wont realy know till you put the kit on. and depends on if you move the axle forward or backwards.

well i hope i dont have to. the front is fine. Ill be getting a drive shaft kit. im going to put all the suspension from the classic lift onto a new frame. then swap the cab and drivetrain over on a weekend. ****ty trying to do this on a DD. and i cant really afford any hick-ups. so any tips?

I just put the classic front lift on mine and had to lengthen it. It was short by prob about 3". I havent installed the rear kit yet, but it looks the stock rear driveshaft will work fine.

We will be selling a beefed up 12 incher. It will be a drive line that will make other drive lines on the market look small. It will be available by summer, so you will be seeing it soon.

square shaft...cheap, effective and strong
