With that much lift how does he plan to bolt his front driveshaft back up?

Hello, that was me who posted that! Yeah, im looking for a 12" lift. I am curious if the 73-87 lift kits could be made to work, but dont know. As far as the driveshaft...ill be having those extended

Any good info would be awesome. Thanks!

The 73 and up springs are too long to fit into the 67-72 factory mounts, the rear springs may fit depending upon length. 12'' of lift will be a custom build with x-over steering and dropping the t-case/trans assy.

The biggest over the counter lift I know of is an 8" from skyjacker.

Boy I wonder what size tires he's wanting to run? I just ordered that skyjacker 8" lift 3 days ago and can"t wait for it to show up. Swapping out the 1/2 ton stuff for a corp 14 bolt and Dana 60 up front. Working OT for the 37" Super Swamper SSR's though.
