Do you need to change the driveshafts for a 6" lift?
 
I want to put a 6" lift on my truck, do you guys think i will have to change the front and rear driveshaft, and possibly brake lines? i have a 4" lift that came with a rear driveshaft, will that be enough? Thanks, dave

your driveshafts will be fine with a 6". most kits come with relocation brackets for your brake lines, but the extended brake lines are way better

Should be just fine If your d-shaft has already been lengthened for the 4" lift. I installed a 6" rough country on my swb with the stock driveshafts, The rear is a little short but Ive had no problems out of it.
