Drive shaft length
I installed a four inch skyjacker lift kit on my 95 f-150 extended cab, short bed. Now that i purchased new wheels i have to move up to a six inch kit....I'm wondering if anyone knows if my drive shafts going to have to be lengthened or if the stock drive shaft will be fine. any help would be appriciated.

The only time it may come into effetct is if the suspension is allowed to extend fully. If the shafts are the stock fixed length then a problem MAY arrise. My 95 lost a shaft that way. Full extension is the best way( and most painfull) to find out. Once you install let it extend fully and check it just remember next time its like that it may be under full load.

Use a high lift jack on rear bumper to lift wheels off ground and allow the suspension to open up fully. Remove the shaft and see how far from coming out it is.
