K if i was to get a 5 1/2 inch lift would i have to get longer driveshafts? Brakes lines what all will i nedd to lengthen? and what not.

You have to get your driveshafts and brake lines extended. You also have to get a drop pitman arm, trac bar riser/lowering bracket, longer shocks, E-brake cables. If you are going to order a kit, call the vendor that you are going to buy it from and ask them what all is needed and what comes with their kit. A complete kit is going to cost in the neighborhood of $2k for everything except driveshafts. Don't buy a Rancho, SuperLift or Tuff Country kit or any other kit that you can buy from a local 4x4 shop. Only order it from Cage, BC, WH, Tom's, Duff, or JBG.

Yeh i was going to order it from JBG but yeh i was really just wonderin about Driveshafts could i get spacers for it?

Never heard of using spacers on driveshafts, but if it is what I am thinking of, that is the half assed way to do things. Don't do it. Have new driveshafts made or if that isn't an option, have yours extended. This falls under the category of do it right the first time. Order a set of driveshafts from Tom Wood Custom Driveshafts and you won't be disapointed. I have both my driveshafts from them and they are second to none out there. The absolute best driveshaft available in my opinion.

Wild Horses also carries extended drivelines. The one-stop-shop has everything you need. Creel and crew do a great job. I agree with S bolt19; don't waste your money on anything but a lift from an reputable early Bronco vender as he named above. WH offers everything except drivelines in their kit, and so do many other companies. Check it out... http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/category/Suspension_System_5in

Do some research now to save yourself some money & headache's later. Calls and surfing the web are free; buying parts that don't work isn't. Good luck and post your progess. Also, after you sign up, post in the "Introductions" forum.
