79 F350 How much lift
Hey guy's how much lift can be done without causing an issue with the stock drive shafts? I'm thinking of going about 9" with Dever springs. As you can see I have a true F350 so I have the HP DANA's.

Thanks!

Lift
I believe anything over 4" lift requires additional work.

I have to ask, why do you want to gowith a 9" lift?

Just want to have a lot of clerance. I'm pondering between 6 and 9. If I run 44" I want some fender room for flex.

What lift did you go with? I was thinking if I went 6" I would do a 3" body with it.

You will deffinitly need more than 6 inches.
This is my 79 F350 with 6 inch lift and it barely fits the 39.5's
