Driveshaft.. mine was, but I'm not positive that the 2wd and 4wd use the same shaft. It would seem silly to me if they didn't, but to be sure you might want to call a dealer and see if they have different part numbers for the rear driveshaft assembly between the 2/4wd models, and if so, what the specs are on each.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. The driveshaft angles are so shallow (horizontal) on these trucks that adding a few inches of vertical lift probably adds less than an inch to the resting length of the driveline.

Are you talking about the drive shaft? I lengthened the drive shaft on my truck. When I lifted it. I noticed that the yoke that goes into the trans tailshaft had come out some. so I had a new tube made. I lengthened my drive shaft.

I am around, I have been dealing with Clients and there Pc issues.

So far this year There has been three different Virus/Malware attacks.
Some of the people around here just want to see what that unknown email is.

I haven't done too much to my truck. I like it the way it is.
It is going to start cooling off in the desert soon. I can hardly wait. Not too many people down here is San Diego area that want to hook up for a offroad adventure. Maybe this season I will hook up with some ford guy's instead of the jeep crowd.
