You will definetly need the shafts extended, I would look into the 8" and make sure that you dont need a CV stlye driveshaft or have to "reclock" the transfer case. If it is a S/B, I would be concerned of the rear driveshaft angle at that height. Just my .02
Mind if i pick your brain for some info? I have A 72 3/4t and about 12 years ago i put a 4" rancho kit on it that has front springs and rear blocks with 5000 series shocks, it definantly made foe a much bumpier ride than stock.

I'm getting close to the point where i want to go ahead and replace the rear blocks with a spring kit so was looking at this kit:

Do you think from your experiance that this kit will have a better ride than the rancho kit i have? Thanks!
