Unless your truck has a straight front axle that's been put in it. That's the stock driveshaft. Because the front diff does not move with the lift.

ok thanks but dosnt the rest of truck lift like transfer case i know it had a dual cardigan drive shaft looked like stock one

yes, the truck lifts, but the location of the t-case relative to the front diff stays the same or changes minimally. Not enough to need a aftermarket shaft though. Now the cv axles are a different story.

With most lifts, you don't, but if that one had one, I'd get exaclty what it had in it.

6" lifted IFS trucks need a custom front driveshaft, with a dual cv joint, to avoid driveline vibrations if 4WD is used on the road (snowy conditions, etc.) It's stated right in most every lift manufactures lift kit instructions. The diff is dropped on most IFS lifts to keep front cv axle angles in check.

I am not 100% about this. But on certain lifts if you have auto 4X4 they recommend a different driveshaft. This is for certain years too.
