Lifting a F350
Hello, I have a 81 F350 4WD I'm thinking of lifting it 6'' with a Skyjacker Lift Kit, I would like to know if there would be a problem with the stock driveshafts.

Most likely they would need to be lengthened

usually anything over 4 inches and you need longer driveshafts and some form of lengthened brake line or fab up drops for the brake hoses

Lift blocks
OK Thanx for the help. I have one more question, why is that your not suppose to put lift block on your front axle, but it's ok on the rear.
