suspension lift

Hey, I have a 1975 F-250 highboy that i plan on lifting. I only want to lift it a couple of inches to clear a set of 36 inch tall tires. If I'm only lifting this thing two inches, how bad will this screw up my driveshaft angles? Will I have to get different driveshafts or can I get away with using the stock shafts? Thanks!
Matt

I run a bit over 6 inches under my rig and I clear 39.5 inch bogggers with only a slight modification to the front slip joint. I needed a slightly longer one for the additional flex. With stock or close to stock lift, you will have no problems with the stock driveline. Man that thing is long, even with the low pinion front axle.
