Comanche's are a separate thing.  NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING bolts in directly.

I would PM Waytec....I think a friend of his had a Comanche lift coming into a shop in Edmonton that he might have been parting out.

How much do you want to lift it?  Since is a sprung under axle setup in the rear the simplest thing to do is grind off the spring perches and have them re-welded onto the top side of the axle. This will net you about 5-6" though....

When I did a SOA on my Comanche, I also put in an Explorer 8.8. The pinion yoke moved +/- 1" forward which made the use of the stock driveshaft acceptable, although it is a goo idea to do a SYE to eliminate the slight vibes. If you plan to retain the stock rear prop valve, you will have to lengthen the linkage. One concern of SOA is axle wrap, which I didn't notice until I put tire chains on.
