I'm not into lifting, hot rodding is more my style, but see if this helps you..

Yep.. That's why the high school math teachers always say "Pay attention, this is important!!"......

I always thought that was ******** they said just to prove they were useful members of the teaching staff?

Need custom driveshafts all the way. If your transfer case has long nose with the slip joint that will have to be changed to a yolk right of the TC and the shafts themselves need the splined long travel slip joint.

That's a big lift, what are you building the truck for?
I'm guessing big lift = big tires so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume you have 1 ton axles.
You will also need cross over steering, absolutely required.
Longer shock and brake lines.
Your front anti-sway bar will need to be deleted also.

Are you sure you don't want to just cut your fenders?

Trucks just for having fun in the city on weekends, no off roading ...hitting car shows ect. It's a partial frame on restoration, not highest quality but it will be a nice clean presentable truck if I can finish it. Thanks for info.

Ok if it's a street cruiser and you're not going to be at highways speeds too often you could get away without cross over steering, but would need a lowered steering arm and raised pitman arm.. umm sorry I might be getting my pits and steering mixed up.

Keep your rim width minimal. If you run like 10" rims your tire to fender clearance will diminish rapidly when you turn the steering wheel.
