I missed out on a 4" susp. lift on ebay that went for $75.
My question is with a 4" lift what is done typically with the draftshafts? Do they have to be lengthened? My bronco II has the CV style rear dshaft.
What about a 2 or 3" susp. lift?

You mean driveshafts? They don't need to be lengthened. but as far as a four inch lift you will need drop brackets, extended brake lines, longer pitman arm.

If your looking for a cheap four inch lift I would go with two inch coil spacers and add a leafs, and a 2 inch body lift. shouldn't cost more than two hundred bucks

You'll need a u-joint rear shaft, the cv shaft can't handle much lift, it any. The front will be fine.

Even if it doesn't, having a driveshaft retubed is not very expensive.
