Currently I am running the TT and Shackles bit, but was thinking about upgrading the front with pro-comp spindles and add a leaf in the rear. However, my concern is that this added lift, would cause my driveshaft to be too short. Most 4wd kits that I have seen always come with transfer case drop down kits to remedy this....but since I have a 2wd that obviously isn't possible. SO.....do you guys think that it would be too short? RIght now i have shackles and supersprings....proabably a total of 2.5" and my yoke seems to be out about an inch or so at level ground.
 






you will be ok... 3" of lift isnt enough to warrant a new driveshaft... most people on here with the first gen sploders with a 5.5" superlift don't have longer driveshafts, and most of them havent had a problem with losing a driveshaft
