4" vs. 6" Skyjacker Suspension

[DangerRanger1993]

when you put on a lift kit, do you have to replace driveshafts?

As far as I know its not necessary unless you go more extreme, 6"+. After that I would imagine the pinion angles would come into effect and it might be necessary to get custom driveshafts as well as other modifications. With the higher lifts 5 to 6" or better steering has a fairly large factor as well. There would have to be some modifcation to have a proper functioning steering. Some of the other members may have more experience.
