Re: Straight Steering Shaft

I kept the slip shaft in mine, I know how much the frame will flex off road, I have cracked body welds when it twisted. I compressed it as far as I could, they jacked it up and used the portapower to extend it more. The 74 center section has the slip joint. The lower section is also a slip section but I have it pinned and spot welded.
