Noob question - suspension lift

I have a brand new 3" lift kit for my 91 Toyota truck
Leafs, torsion bars, shocks.

I am thinking, if I put it on, will my drive shaft not be long enough to rearch the rear diff anymore?

Very new to trucks, sorry.

Thanks,

Both driveshafts might have to be lengthened, perhaps the front more so than the rear.

I didn't know anyone made a 3" kit for IFS trucks...

Post up what you have, and more than likely the manufacturer will tell you best if you need longer shafts or not...

Lol I was about to ask the same thing. I'm getting the blazeland kit up front and most likely the 3 inch trail gear kit in the rear so I'm pretty shure ill need some driveshaft work.

what do you mean by driveshaft work?

isn't the driveshaft splined to the transfer case so it would just have to slide out a bit to accomidate for the lift?

I mean it will have to be lengthened. In the trail gear 3 inch lift kit the install directions say the driveshaft has to be lengthened.
