Suspension Lift Kit Question

I am considering the 3 in Rough Country suspension lift kit for my '85 4Runner. Do I need to do anything to the driveline? I know it may change the articulation angles on the driveshafts. I do know you have to do something if you plan on lifting it up really high. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

Well first off what exactly do you want to DO? Why are you lifting it?

The rear springs are sagging and the bushings are dry rotted on the front, one on the right side is almost completely gone, figured now would be a good time for an upgrade as well as new shocks considering the ones on it are OE. I'd also like to beef up it's appearance as well and I thought a 3 inch lift would be nice for that.

I am thinking on the full OME suspension myself,nice ride and good quality.These rascals can ride like a cement truck with some lift springs.
