Steering shaft doesn't line up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just put a 2" body lift on my 4x4 and I have run into a problem. The steering shaft is too short and won't line up. I have been told that you are supposed to drill out the two plastic rivets that hold the two sections together so I drilled them out but they won't separate. Do I have to persuade it loose?
Also, it doesn't want to angle down to meet up with the steering box. My 2x4's steering has a swivel to it but my 4x4 doesn't. Do I scrounge a junkyard, what parts do I have to replace, etc.?
Someone has to know. Thanks guys.
