8in lift question

[FL_SmokinPSD]

Hey guys im looking into buying a 8in lift, used. Will i have any issues with drive shaft angles, or will have to extend them? also any other hidden costs or anything im going to have issues with?

if you purchase new, most kits will have all that you need, but i see you have posted "used". what year and model truck? may have to die gring a small ammount on the front yoke with that much lift. rear axle shimmed down possibly. or shim the tranny?transfer case. where you located. i was actually gm(please don't bash me) certified in prop shaft angle and analyses back in 1998. some time you do have to extend the driveshafts. if you start the lift and have problems with the angles re-post and i will try to help.

You will have to shim the carrier and the front shaft will need to be lengthened at least i did b/c there wasn't much of the shaft still sticking in the the driveshaft believe they lengthened mine about 2-3 inches got it done at CENTRAL FLORIDA DRIVESHAFT in Lakeland they lengthened and balanced it for $140 bucks great place and will do the work SAME DAY

My '02 has a 6.5" Pro Comp lift w/ 2.5" shackles and a 2" block in the rear to total almost 9" of lift and i didnt have to do any modification to the front driveshaft. The rear has the carrier bearing kit but theres nothing aftermarket in the front.
