HEY EVERYONE!
I JUST FINISHED INSTALLING ANOTHER 4 INCHES OF LIFT ON MY RIG (BRINGING IT TO 8 1/2) AND SWAPPING MY 8.25 FOR A FORD 8.8 WITH A LS AND 4:10 GEARS. MY PROBLEM NOW IS I NEED A LONGER DRIVE SHAFT. I ALREADY KNOW A SYE AND CV SHAFT IS THE WAY TO GO BUT IM ON A BUDGET RIGHT NOW. IM LOOKING FOR A DRIVE SHAFT THAT IS ABOUT TWO INCHES LONGER THAN STOCK THAT I CAN USE UNTIL I GET THE FUNDS TO COMPLETELY UPGRADE THAT AS WELL. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT WHAT VEHICLES I SHOULD BE LOOKING AT FOR A DONOR SHAFT? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

X2 find a local driveline or fab shop and have them lengthen a stock front ds. And don't you need some sort of adapter for the 8.8?Originally Posted by Atmos
