3" lift in rear: Drive Line Issues?
So I went from fixing sagging rear leaves to a 2" lift in the rear after they have settled in after about 2-3 weeks. I then decided to lift the front with some HD coils to level it out. Silly me, my 2.5L isn't as heavy so I end up with 2.5" of lift with these coils in the front (at least thats why I'm assuming these OEM spec HD coils added that much). I'm adding another inch to the rear with some shackles as I do not like it's current stance. Will I have any drive shaft angle issues with 3" of lift on a '96?

you should be fine with 3 or 3.5 most people don't have problems until 4.5 but all they have to add is a transfer case drop kit. I ran 3.5 without any problems.

Thanks, just got done upgrading shocks setup after the lift; just trying to figure out anything else I may need to do. Been doing a lot of reading, but direct feedback always helps.
