[QUOTE="mcarroll02, post: 1050605, member: 77994"] While the shafts need to be longer, its the angle that kills them. Yes, lengthening the center shaft will change the angles some, but not enough. If all you wanted is longer shafts, i would get a machine shop to make new center shafts out of chromemoly to the needed specs(i would do it myself, but i dont have access to a horizontal mill and tooling to make splines). And for what that cost, i believe you could do the rough country ranger lift up front and soa the rear. I can speak to the durability of the rcv shafts. They held up great in my 6k lb tahoe with a hot 383 under the hood, 37" tires and my lead foot...lol cant say that for the tie rids and ball joints though...had to replace one or the other ever couple of months.
