When I installed mine, I lifted the rear and removed my old leafs.
Then I bolted the new leafs to the axle.
Then I measured the distance from the front wheels (making sure they were straight) to the rear wheels. In that way I was able to determine the position of my new leaf hangers
The pinion angle should be about the same with your driveline.
I used a 3" lift and I didn't have to lengthen my rear shaft. But it did slide out of the sleeve a little bit.

That's the same kit I was going to get to go along with my 3 inch front kit. Both from trail gear. Thanks for the advice. How much does it usually cost to get a driveshaft lengthened?. And for the front after I do my sas can I just use the driveline that's coming with the axle and have it lengthened or do ineed to get different style u joints also?
Lengthening a drive shaft is normally $$$ because the tube has to scrapped and a new tube installed. Your stock style ujoints should be fine.
When i did mine, it cost me $120. And that included balancing and everything. And yeah, your u joints should be fine if you keep up with their maintenance.
