Actually.. Nothing. It's a 2" lift not a 3". I disconnected the shaft then after the body was lifted it bolted right back in place like nothing happend.

they do have some movement in the shaft to account for body/frame flex, you may want to check to see if it still has some room to extend from where its at now, otherwise if you flex the suspension out it may pull on the shaft, possibly bending the steering shafts, or try to pull the coloum through the firewall, or maby even pulling the shaft apart, hopefully everything is fine, but it may be something to look into

The total cost was around $70 for lift blocks, hardware, and sheetmetal. The time was about 2 days.
