what kind of lift are you buying? Also you will need to do something with your driveshaft but might not need lenghting . Some of the Lift company's have transfer case drops that allow use of stock driveshafts and if they don't they should be able to tell you exactly how much you'd need to lenghten.

No driveshaft or transmission mods needed. Sometimes they give you a angled block in the rear to correct pinion angle but that shouldnt be needed for a 6 inch lift.

ok, the lift is from rough country. it's a 6" suspension Front coil springs, radius arm drop brackets, I-beam drop brackets, power steering pitman arm, 4 Nitro 9000 series shocks, u-bolts, and 3" rear blocks w/ add-a-leafs. also dual steering stabilizers and extended front and rear brake lines. and the body lift is also a rough country 3" body lift.
