"do you run into any drive shaft angle problems"
This & many other problems...but it's all worth it when it's done right
You'll need; dropped pitman arm, dropped track-bar mount, adj. track-bar...& this is just the front.
Prob. need at least 6 deg. shims to align the rear yoke/dr. shaft.
The front radius arms must be parallel.
Check that the bolts go "all the way" thru the spring eyelets "both directions" (rear spgs.)
Otherwise it's about a 4 banana job...safety is the KEY..! B)
All the Br. stores have pretty much the same kits....I used the 11 pack rears & ride is great.

how high are you wanting to go? what are you wanting to do with this EB? Is it for show, or mudding, rock crawling? ya gotta give a little more info than what you did. Most lifts are the same, but it will depend on what you want to do with it as to what lift you go with.

Call and talk to the guys at Duff, BC Broncos and Wildhorses and make your choice. If I were you get a 3.5" lift. Its a happy medium lift that will not cause problems. Sure you might need longer drivelines, drop trac and pitman arm but thats all stardard for any lift. If you decide to do the tie-rod over you will not need the drop pitman arm. Then you can always raise the trac bar on the axle so you can attach to the frame with a heim joint type bar. Most trac bar bushings wear out fast with flexy syspensions causing wandering problems. Make sure you replace the bushings all the time.
