Default 7 inch skyjacker?

hey guys.. im thinking about really upping my lift and going with a 7 inch skyjacker. presently i have a 3 inch rough country lift (3 inch spacers and blocks) but i was thinking that i could just get the 5 inch skyjacker lift and keep the spacers for a total of 8 inches.. but would the steering components from the lift work with a 8 inch lift?? i've been thinking about it but i just have noo idea! please help.. thanks

No...steering would have to be modified. I'm almost positive you'd have to lengthen your driveshafts and mess with your pinion angles as well.

Besides, mixing lift kits like this definitely doesn't sound like a safe idea [&:]

i agree, long drive shafts and the steering would be all screwy, you will need a new track bar and so on.
