Is your truck lifted? I need some info.

I am thinking of doing a 6inch lift on my 92 w250. My question is, what happens to your origional driveshaft? Going back to high school math, if the rear axle stays in the same location (location as in placement on the truck) only being further away from the frame, the distance from where the driveshaft exits the transmission to where it enters the differentiail is farther away. Did you have to buy another driveshaft or an extension maybe? Or was it still possible to use the origional? And wouldn't it be the same for the front commimg off pthe transfer case. What happened there?

i put a 6in lift on my truck and the rear driveshaft was fine. but the front driveshaft will need to be extended about an 1.5in. i do know they make spacers for the front driveshaft but i dont like them because it can throw off the balance of the drive shaft.
