drive line question

i am putting 5 inch lift springs in the rear of my 4runner to match the 4 inch IFS lift i did in the front (until i SAS) and was wondering if my drive-line was going to be long enough to reach the rear axle, and if not, is there a drive-line i could get from a junkyard that would bolt up without having to go out and get one custom made? Thank you

You are going have to get your driveshafts lengthened.

I have run a 5 in lift on my 85 pickup for years, stock driveshaft in the rear, never had a problem.. and done the same to a countless number of trucks...

I think what you are refering to is that the distance is going to change and the slip will not be in the same spot..great observation.. While the slip does change positions it is not enough to make the strength of the slip be compromised. Maybe it will depend on the brand of spring that is used for the lift, but like is said; with my experience it has never been a problem. I have always been impartial to alcans though. Maybe a quality product is the difference.
