Okay I'm thinking about putting a 3" body lift on my truck. I know its a 2wd but just humor me. I might convert it later or buy a 4wd later and use the lift on it possibly. but anyway my question is my steering colum. this is the kit I'm looking at possibly getting.

Will I need to have another colum made? or can I just use my colum? Also you guys know of any place cheaper for a 3"?

I put a 3" body lift on my 68 and the only thing I had to do is make filler pieces for the bumpers...I have a 3" lift I can sell you cheap...
