Should my drive shafts still be long enogh if i lift my comanche 6 inches. I have a 4.5 inch kit (frint only) and a 1.5" bb. I no longer have stock shackles and the back will be soa. So the back will sit at aroun 6. Should i put pucks with the coils to even it out a bit? Im Concerned about drive shafts and where the axles will sit. I do have a trans case drop with my zone kit though.
I do not have long arms only the short ones with the kit.

To say the least, your pushing it for the rear DS. Are the arms that come with the kit adjustable? Your going to want to set the castor for a good front angle. As for the rear, you'll be fine but thinking of a Hack n Tap/ SYE in the future would be a safer bet. Your rear u joints will suffer a tad and you'll probably feel quite a bit of vibrations when you are driving. As for the science of what angle a stock driveshaft needs to be at 6 inches, is beyond me. Will you be doing any kind of wheeling?

Making sure the front and rear are leveled out in lift also has a bit to do on driveshaft angle as a lower front will cause the TC slip yoke to point a little higher. Describe exactly what your jeep sits at now and exactly what's going on it. I feel a little jumbled when I read what ya type out... Lol maybe its cuz I'm still working!

Well the rear doesnt sit that much higher (maybe an inch) because the stock shackles are longer than stock xjs shackles. The front spacers are not on right now but would lift it more like 1.5-2". I bought a 4.5 zone kit just for the front and have a friend whos gonna weld perches and shock mounts for the leafs.

I do plan on wheelin it and getting a new rear end and a sye but cant afford it right now with starting college.
Would it be that bad if the rear sat a little higher than the front? I plan driving it everyday but little freeway driving and wheeling it on weekends.

Sorry if im explaining this bad.

Nah, you are doing just fine. An inch higher in the rear is no big deal. If you plan on gettin an SYE in the future than you shouldn't have a problem now
