8 Inch Lift

Hello everyone. I am going to be putting an 8 inch lift on my 2001 F250 super duty. If anyone has put one on before, any suggestions or tips? Also, how much longer will the drive shafts need to be? Thanks for your help everyone!

What kind?? Doesn't need to be any longer just need a spacer above carrier bearing on crew cabs like mine to keep driveline correct and if you don't it will shake taking off. I can't help with all these technical questions but do know lifts.

You should clear fine until you turn. Probly gonna have to trim the valence on front and maybe loosen inner fender on back and reconnect it out of the way. Thats what i did on mine but it's got 10" and forty's. Shouldn't see much rubbing on the springs if any since the tires will be spaced out away from truck. any ? let me know can send pic of my front bumper later

go with an Ikon 8", don't need to worry about the driveline... just need some carrier bearing adjustment...
