Brand new to the Forum. I have a 1986 B2. I just ordered a rough country 4" lift and I was wondering if ill need to modify or replace the driveshafts after install. Is there anything that ill need that the lift doesn't come with? other than extended brake lines of course.

Standard or Automatic? Standard probably need the shifter extension. As far as driveshafts, I'm not sure. My 84 rear driveshaft actually had about 2 inches of play in it( telescoping ). Best bet is to check with the manufacturer and search other threads.

I put a 4 inch lift on my 84. Driveline work great stock length.

I’d go to the ranger station website and look at some of their tech articles as well as the b2 forum. Lots of archived info on lifting. Drive shaft angle, pitman arm length, front axle angle, etc. are all addressed.

Sounds fun, good luck!
