hey i was just wondering from you guys with the 6.5in. truckin lift, all i have seen was extended cabs with the longer wheel base and i was wondering if you think there would be a problem if i put the lift on a regular cab short bed as for as the drive shaft. will i have to get a different drive shaft? or will there be to much of an angle or should i go with a 4.5in lift

big dawg, I don't think you'll have a problem with the drive shaft with the 6.5in. on a reg. cab.

yes I did, I bought (2) 3/4in DD to 3/4 spline u-joints and a 6in splined shaft from Flamin River. Thats so you can straiten the steering wheel. The kit comes with DD to DD, with that set-up you cant rotate the steering wheel. I also ordered longer stainless steel break lines for the front. For the rear I did'nt use the drop brackets, I re-arced the rear springs 4in. and added 2in blocks.
ALOHA, jimbo

a double cardan drive line will alow you to run a steeper pinion angle without any extra vibrations.
