driveline angle?

so i want to lift my bronco 12+ inches and i want to know what i would do about my driveline. unlike a truck with a longer bed...the driveline is longer so the angle is less then it would be on my bronco. I have the same dilema that a jeep would. So my question is would the angle of the driveline be a problem or not?

I would be a problem if your wallet isn't big enough. Because you will need a steep angle c.v. joint and they aren't cheep. You will also need to step up to bigger u-joints, slip joint, and yokes.

I agree with Mark. For enough $$ you can have a custom shaft made by High Angle Driveline or Tom Woods that will handle the angles fine . . . it's just gonna be pricey. What is the total length of your driveshafts right now?
