is it ok to take the steering extension off that goes onto the steering box? the splines where it slides into the gearbox are wore out and causing play in the steering wheel. i took it off and it bolts right back onto shaft on the steering box. that little aluminum extension is $160.

Anybody?

 

If it will go back on without the extension you should be okay. How big of a body lift is it? I have done a couple body lifts on various trucks (chevy fords dodges nissans) and all were 2 inches and one 3 inch and none of them even came with a steering extension they all worked though so I dont see why yours should be any different.

 

it is a 3 inch i believe. i was just worried about the steering shaft breaking or coming apart. i know it only comes out so far but anything can happen.
