I'd clock it, and buy a High Angle Driveline from the experts, High Angle Drivelines.

Re: 73-87 10inch lift
4" max lift with stock drive shafts... I would also suggest crossover steering ... what size tires will you be using? Why would you want a lift that big? 10" springs are going to ride like and empty dump truck... hell my 4" lift rides rough...
