Front Driveshaft

How high can I go before the front driveshaft becomes a problem? I am at approx. 4.5" now.
 
I have heard of people going to at least 8" without too much problem, and I think there are people at 12" without new front driveshafts.

I have no experience above 6", but I am not familar with anyone have a problem with stock front driveshafts at 6".

Hth,

drive shaft bind at 4.5

i have 4.5 in the back and when i installed the D44 at full droop the drive shaft was locking. i discovered this this when regearing and arb'ing i had the 'frame' on jack stands and the axel hanging. at full extension i could not turn the shaft.. i had to jack the axel up about 1.5 inches to get the shaft to spin again. so now i have a sye installed ! lol
 
ooops, didn't read the thread right

mine was the back. on my 91 it has a hp and certainly at 4 in the front it still looks hardly angeled at all
