OK, we got the body drop tacked back up. What do we have to do with the steering shaft? It is very close to the upper control arm and is too long. What do we do?

The shop that did mine cut and moved the firewall around the shaft and trimmed the control arm some. It still rubs sometimes. Get some tube arms and that should take care of that.

Yeah, Thanks for the help. We are experimenting with some shafts out of some other vehicles so we can use the u joints out of them. Is the stock shaft supposed to slide together like a chevy one? This one doesn't. Thanks again
