I am going with a 6" lift, with 35 or 36" tires. Will I need to do anything to the Drive shaft, or transfer case, as in Lowering the case, or extending the drive shaft?
I have read things here and there, but I have not been able to get a definite answer.

The kit I will be going with will most likey be SkyJacker 6" kit with Dual stabalizer and 52-Inch Replacement Rear Springs instead of blocks.

Thanks for any help.
I don't think you will have to touch the drive shaft. A friend of mine had one we put 1-ton axles on and he was running 38's on a 6" lift with fender cut outs. We did not touch the front drive shaft and never had an issue
