Do i have to extent my driveshafts for a 5.5 inch skyjacker lift?
Hey guys.. I'm quite new here and I'm currently working on putting a skyjacker lift on my truck and was wondering whether or not it was required to lengthen my driveshafts to where the splines don't get stripped on them.. thanks
Shouldn't be necessary. Merc225hp might stop in here some time, he had the 5" skyjacker on for a while and just went to 7" and I think he's still running stock drivelines.
WBR is right no mods are needed to be done to the drive shafts with a 5" lift. I am pushing the limits of the front DS with the 7" lift, drop the drivers side wheel in a deep hole and I will pull it apart.

Have you clocked the case?

Probably had to shorten it though, way cheaper than lengthening.
Was also wondering the same thing! Glad I pondered on this. I have the 2" factory (bigger springs) for the ORE. I was planning on adding a 2" level + 3-4" suspension addition to what's OEM installed.
