    I was going to try to do a 3/2 drop with djm arms in front and either belltech 2 inch blocks or xii composite drop leaves in the back I was wondering if would there be drive shaft issues with the 3/2 drop

    Nope, you won't have any issues. I was dropped six in the rear and five in the front with no issues.

    edit: the five inch blocks in the rear of my truck did have pinion angle correction built into them, but when I went to three inch blocks I was able to go with flat blocks again. No pinion issues with the small drop.

    My truck has the DJM 3 inch drop arms up front, as well as Feal coilovers for the rest. In the rear it was on 5 inch tapered blocks and 4x4 leaf spring. The key here being that the blocks were tapered to correct the pinion angle. The truck did suffer from axle wrap with that size block in the rear though. I'm also in a regular cab so I've got a one piece driveshaft, I don't know how an access cab would handle it with the two piece.
