No you don't need in and #2 you don't want to stack spacers, very very dangerous.

is there anything i need to do with the driveshaft, will it be at to much of an angle or does it have any effect on the lift and driving???

and how is towing stuff with a lift with the 35 tires, with a stock engine,5.4 v8??

thanks

you have to do something to the front driveshaft, it's in the instructions. If you have 3.55 gears I would regear, if you have 3.73 ls gears you should be ok.

not sure on pricing where you are but I would say 1100-2000 and take it to a shop and let them do the gears.

Im not sure where to find what gears you have I think there is an axel code on the door jamb, but I don't know how to tell what gears. You will notice a loss of power and it will ware out your transmition pre maturally.

ok so i looked on the papers in my truck that comes on the door window and it said i had the 3.73 gear ratio, so regearing is not an issue for me, in installing the 6 inch lift and 35s right??? the 3.73 gear is fine to work with this set up right

yes them gears will be fine. it will help alot if you get a programer exhaust and intake to gain power back.

What shocks did you get with your lift because when i looked on that web site i didn't see anything on there about it comeing with shocks
