Post by: tommy_chunk on July 08, 2008, 11:06:03 PM: how does a body lift effect the driveshaft angles? Wouldn't a 1" (or more) body lift to go with a 3" suspension lift require the SYE. Am I wrong?

Doing a body lift wont raise any of your driveline, so if you had no problems with a previous lift, the angle wont change, the only somewhat related thing a BL can do to the driveline, is move the rad & shroud up relative to the engine fan.
