Ive heard that if you go any higher than a 4" suspsion lift you have to tilt your drive shaft or something of that nature is this true? I already have a 3" body lift and wanted more. I also have a set of 2" lift blocks and add a leafs sitting in garage if i buy a 4" lift kit could i just add my 2" blocks onto the 4" ones to make it 6?

for fullsize gods, go to www.ck5.com they will help u with anything fullsize.

if i remeber right, 4 inch is max on stock parts. the slipyolk in the xfer case will come out if any bigger.also the stock axles almost at thrie max for tire size. 35's are about max for a dana 44/12 bolt setup unless u are only driving it on the street, or baby it off road.

we did 10-12 inch whiplash lift on a dodge only thing we had to change was the front driveshaft had to get it custom built

(i wouldnt recommend this though)

to many shots a jager since then cant remember what all was changed out but it came with everything you needed

Not if you value your life. Very bad, bad, icky things will happen. Seriously, never stack blocks...
