anyone???

Hey mike, i didnt have to do anything with my steering shaft except for notching the firewall a little bit so it could go up a little bit. i have the tube arms so thats not an issue for me, they do come close to the arms but it will never touch them.

Check out hopntoy's profile on here hes got some pics of how he did his steering shaft.

built mine out of tubing , 2 u-joints and a heim joint to make it with a custom made bracket that bolts to the back side of the control arm..... heres some pics...

heres mine. works great.

i also have a 3.5" bodydrop with a 1.5 z'd frame

well i will be doin 1 inch z and 2.5 body drop maybe ill only have to notch the firewall like tim said? im jus ttryin to plan ahead to knwo what ill be needing
thanks guys

Jason thats what I need to do! Thanks for those picks. Hopefully mine will be close. I moved my arms up an inch, and I'm going to body drop 1.75" (to the rocker). Hopefully mine is close. Those weld on steering joints work pretty good?

when i BDed mine(3.5") the shaft was going to hit the stock control arm. I bought tubular control arms, and it now clears fine.
