1972 K10/K20 SUBURBAN Lift questions

I'm throwing a set of 3/4 ton's under my K10 as well as a 6 inch Skyjacker lift

1: Will i need to do any drive-line modifications? I've heard that anything over a 4 inch lift will need some, but considering I'm putting a Dana 60 which has a longer housing and yoke(roughly 2 inches) longer than the GM 12 bolt i might be in the clear.

I'm also getting the runaround from vendors and skyjacker itself as far as kits go.

I plan on using the C260AKSS kit, but no one can give me a solid answer as far as what I can or can't pick out , I already have a Steering arm, I want to purchase different shocks, skyjacker tells me i cant get the kit without shocks, vendors just say they sell the leaf kit and nothing else, no extended brake lines or shocks.....

anybody have any luck purchasing a kit/ piecing together a kit that is budget friendly? say around $1000 give or take?

Thanks fellas.

Talk to off road design. They will hook you up.

Love my 2.5 inch EZ rides on my burb. You will need both driveshafts, dont cheap out.

Here is a 6 in all spring kit under your budget, no shocks, no brake hose.

The cheap trick for front extended brake hose is to use 72 2wd as it is a few inches longer.
