If you put a 6in suspension lift and crank your keys and put a 2inch coil spacer do you need to get longer drive shafts for that much of drop?
longer drive shafts?

Lol yea I want to get the 11in or 10in at least. With the 3in body lift and 6in suspension and the 2 from the keys in front and 2in spacer in back might get the electric step bar that hides when doors close

Well the front diff is stationary, so no on that one. With a standard 6" lift the rear shaft is still fine.
I would forget the spacers and torsion keys and just put in a 3" body lift. You're going to all the trouble of installing a suspension lift that keeps all the geometry in line, and then messing up that geometry by cranking up the bars and installing spacers.

Yea that sounds smart. So then I just save the coil spacers I have now and just get the 6in suspension lift and with the body lift I already have. Would 37's fit with 9in lift alltogther and will it rube when flexing?

I can tell you the extra 2" is a PIA mine will have 11" but is a street queen
and 37" and 9" lift is fine.
Drive shaft depends the 6" Fabtech kit says you may get vibration in the rear so you'll need a CV shaft and their rear upper arms, which are longer and rotate the axle for better pinion angle.
Some people get away without.

Where can I find a CV shaft. Because I do a lot of mudding and I know it would help it a lot.

Ford made CV rear Drive Shafts stock in 97 but pulled them due to Vibe problems.
So you would need to have a shop build one or Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts - Tom Woods Custom Drive Shafts Custom Driveshafts Specialist
