lift increase advice

[Ty's toy]

Hey guys i got a few questions. As of now i got a 4 inch rc lift on my truck and im looking to go a little higher. Ive been looking at the lift shackles for the back. But would i be ok doing a leveling block in the front or will i need new longer coils?
Also will my brake lines bee long enough?

And most importantly will i run into problems with my driveshat and yokes?

Thanks for any advice guys it will deffinately help

You should be able to do rear shackles and coil spacers up front (the type that goes under the spring seat).
You'll probably also want to get a larger dropped pitman arm than what your RC lift came with (Skyjacker #FA600), as the extra height from the spacers will exacerbate any steering issues caused by too much angle on the steering linkage.

Driveshafts should be fine.

Ok thanks buddy and im glad you mentioned the pitman arm i totally forgot about that

No problem, that's why I mentioned it.

The lift industry is pretty much out to lunch when it comes to steering corrections on these trucks, which makes it easy to forget or overlook it.

By the way buddy this truck is offroad a good bit..if i do this lift will i run into shock problems when im flexed out in the back?

Thanks again

I wouldn't think so... Though it wouldn't hurt to pull a shock and measure it's length just to make sure (you can always get longer ones if needed, both for the front and/or rear).
