Default lift options

i have a 82 w150 stepside 4spd. is anyone on here aware of any lift options, besides skyjacker, with 8 inches of lift? im not sure, but im thinking about going with either 38's or 40's. would 8" be enough?

You should be able to find something for that at a local parts house.

We lifted a 87 Ramcharger with 8" of lift and are having troubles with the front driveshaft angle ( way too much). Solved the problem with the rear with a special yoke from HIGH ANGLE DRIVELINE AT 530-877-2875 ask for Jessie
They make CV's for rockcrawlers and more

so what did you end up doing for the front drive shaft? i was curious that the driveshafts woud be at too much of an angle. ive seen insane lift kits on some trucks but the front driveshaft was removed. haha.
