| 4 inches is fine.. it usually pulls the driveshaft out 1/4 inch.. if not cut the stock driveshaft and sleeve it. | |

| A 4"lift will be fine... I have 11" of lift on my truck as you can see in my build thread and I'm using my stock driveshaft and still have about an inch of slip left in the slip yoke... Unless you have a fixed yoke on your Tcase if you do then yes you may need a longer slip yoke for your driveshaft but a 4 inch lift shouldn't be anything to worry about...
Question are you going with lift springs or blocks? | |

| Im pretty sure a lift on a truck like yours causes alignment issues with the TTB front axle. She'll eat through tires like you wouldnt believe. Good reason to swap in a solid axle  | |

| As long as you get the axle drop down brackets, all your symmetry will be fine on the front end and on your truck, anything more than 6 inches of lift requires driveline work. | |
