what has to be done with the fr and rear driveshafts on either of these kits?
1. do it need lengthening or just shims on rear?
2. does transfer cases get "clocked/rotated " to match lower fr diff height or does shaft need lengthening?

My rough country dropped the front differential. You didn't have to lengthen the driveshaft with a spacer.

• AWD models will require front driveshaft modification.
• Will not fit HD models with 7 Lug wheels.
• Although rare, some models may require rear driveshaft spacer (F5601) with the 6" system.

just asking this is on the zone link??

so if my truck goes thru about 18" of powdery snow with little problem now with 35" duratrac tires and 2 " lift but still hangs up and gets stuck if theres 6 inches of hard packed on 12 " of powder, will a 4-6 " rough country lift on my 35" tires help me plow thru that hard packed stuff?

or will the axles still hang me up on that hard packed stuff?

does your rough country kit have the kicker braces? if not do you think they are needed?

im pretty sure i have about 22" of ground clearance underneath the frame rails of the middle portion of frame under the cab , with my front leveling kit.

what does the average 6 " lift kit net you for clearance under the frame.
i can post pics of what i mean tomorow?

ok i must have not been on level ground or remebered wrong cuz now i measured under the frame rails under the cab and only have 16 ", so about 20 " under nthe frame rails makes sense now

That kit could possibly be right...But i think its for 2wd?! therefore, no need for the front differential drop down brackets.

nevermind, just looked again..lol
