5.5 Superlift + f150 coilspacers and shackles question

[Adam Foote]

Hey i want to do the F150 coilspacers with the warrior shakles on top of my 5.5 inch Superlift, you guys think i will need new driveshafts? If anyone has done this please reply

Considering Two Tone lossed his rear drive shaft under hard breaking (he has a 5.5"lift) I would say the likely hood of needing new shafts is very high.

If you want the tire clearance, just put in a PA body lift. This way, you wont have to worry about a driveshaft.

Yeah, like he said, you'll need a longer one

just another input on it, I have been running mine for over a year including wheeling in Moab and locally and have never had a problem! After measuring I found that I have at least 3" of spline left after full droop and I mean FULL we had a jack between the axle and the frame crossmember and things were fully stretched!

Just out of curiosity, have you ever had to make a real quick stop at high speeds? I dropped mine after having to slow down while going 70 because a deer was in the road...just dropped right out. Is mine just weak sauce, or was it just the circumstance?
