I ordered a rize 8 inch lift and i was wondering if i had to make any changes to my rear or front drive shaft

Rear driveshaft is good to go. Rize claims you may get some vibration from the front driveshaft when in 4wd but I have never noticed it and was in 4wd alot this winter. They do however sell their replacement driveshaft that corrects the vibration for around $800!

you can also have your driveshaft lengthend for pretty cheap thats what i did on my 89 i forgot how much i paid but it was waaaay cheaper than a new drive shaft!! im sure there is a place nearby you or even if you have to send it out! just throwing the idea out there to save you guys afew $$ if a problem arises

All good, I do somewhat extreme off road and my front DS is still stock, and have no vibration. Refer to thread https://www.f150forum.com/f34/all-ri...session-35555/

thanks for all the feed back

hey 07screwon37s what size of ring and pinion are you running on 37s cuz im lookin to buyin some toyos mt

07screwon37s

I run 4.88s and think it it perfect for the 37s. Alittle more pep than stock and really gave me back some of my mpg's due to motor and tranny not having to work as hard.

what do you think about running 4.56s? and is there alot of work changing out the gears or is it better for a mechanic to handle this

07screwon37s

I would run the 4.56s with 35" tires. Go ahead and step up to the 4.88 if ur gonna or plan on running 37s. And I would leave it to the pros but im sure someone will tell u its a piece of cake. I do my fair share of work on my truck but when it comes to drivetrain, I know I could do it but just dont wanna risk it if that makes sense.
