another tire/lift question :)

I have 3 inch suspension lifts running 32s right now. Looking to regear in the near future. Prolly going 5.29s with 35s. May end up running the 32s with the new gears for a couple months till I get tires. My question is if I get a 2inch shackle lift added to my 3 inches already....will I need to do something with the drive shaft?

You may, depending on full droop and if you wheel it.

What kind of lift do you have?

You may also effect steering. Have read that with larger tire steering does better with increasing castor angle. Adding longer shackles would decrease castor angle. Definitely something to think about and research.

Yeah thanks been researching alot. I think I'm gonna go 4.88s and do 33s. Not looking to make it drive much crazier than it already does haha.

But if you get an after market front spring hanger might be a bit different. I think they are an inch or so difference between most aftermarket and stock. Could be a good direction to search in.
