Default Body Lift?

Has any one done a body lift to thier rig? Is it a pain? I have a 3'' body lift. I have already put a 4'' lift system on my rig, that was very simple to do.

The only thing that dosen't make sense is the steering shaft. Any info on this?

I have read some info on body lifts which require modifing the floor panel to allow the steering colum to sit lower to attach the steering, however I believe if you use the Borgsen replacement shaft, there is enough travel to compensate for the added heigth with out further modification, and I don't believe it will bind due to the U-joint .

I found info saying that there is 2 pins to drive out on the shaft and it will work using a stock shaft. I have only found 1 pin.

Default body lift

When you order the kit it should come with a piece thats welded in the steering shaft from the column to make it longer thats what I had to do. the kits are easy to install just take your time and spray alot of wd40 to loosen the bolts up to get them loose.......

The only thing to weld is a piece that you weld to the shifter link after cutting it.
