Default Question about dual gauge A pillar

I will be posting a long thread here pretty soon as to why I need this...but until then here is my question. I need a duel gauge A pillar. Will I still be able to have the handle on it too? Or, because of lack of room, will the handle be deleted. I kind of need the handle because I'm onnly 5'5" and with only a level kit and 33's its a jump to get in and even harder for my 5'2" wife.

the dual gauge piller requires you to delete handle. but you can get a single guage on the piller keep the handle and add a steering column pod for the other gauge

Yes you will lose the handle. You could do something like this. I know they make a dual set-up as well but none were listed on my quick ebay search.

I was going to suggest what was listed above. A steering column mount, and a single pillar design. I do believe that would be the only way to keep your handle.

the dual gauge would be a good reason not to let your wife drive


Plus you could pull yourself up with the steering wheel like i do

thanks for all the comments guys. I let my wife drive the truck every now and again...or if I've been drinking a lot of scotch like usual, she drives. and, she looks HOT when she drives it too. I guys I could use the steering wheel as a handle, but I want to keep the a pillar handle. Oh well. Also, I dont have side steps...I never wanted to put them on...dunno why. Can anyone tell me where to get the steering wheel mounted gauge pod?
