6-7 inch rear lift on ext cab pickup need longer driveshaft?

hey i was wondering if the driveshaft would bind with a 6 inch rear lift? if so would i have to buy shims. could you lower the carrier bearing by making some brackets? thanks.

Your problem will be length, as in too short.
It's simple Pythagorean geometry.
