How much lift before drive line mods
I have a 4 door with a 2.5 procomp spring lift and want to go higher i was thinking 1" body lift and 1 3/4 spacers in front and 1 inch in rear. What do you think will i need drive shaft mods? How high can i go without having to mess with anything. I would like to run is 38's with bushwacker fenders.

Front- 2.5 coil w/ 1 3/4" spacer for a total of 4.25"
Rear- 2.5 coil w/ 1" spacer for a total of 3.5"
If you cut your fenders(or purchase aftermarket) and trim your pinch seem and sliders(if you got'em), you should be cleared for 38's with very little/no rub.
You obviously also need to make sure you have the correct backspacing on your wheels, have extended bumpstops, and extended brakelines.

If you go off road, flex the suspension and you go 3 with 8" tires on the stock D30, you should also be concerned with the axle. You will need be aware of the driveline's limitations.
