Just as the title says, I'd like to buy a steering extension. I'm piecing together a body lift and will have custom bumpers so the zone body lift isn't necessary to me. You can email me at snowborder1177@yahoo.com if you've got one. Thanks!

Would the measurements be helpful? I can't give up mine yet.

Definitely. If you don't mind giving me the measurements that'd be great.

These are reasonably accurate, within a couple hundredths. Maybe these will get somebody to start making em again.

Jason, is that extension for a 2" or 3" body lift?

It would be nice to have someone here that could produce them. I expect that extension has to be pretty close on specs. I noticed a decent amount play in my steering after installing mine. Some time later I tightened that nut maybe a 1/2 turn and it took all the play out of my steering.

I'm actually in the process of working with MarkMC (he gave me the drawing) to get them fabricated at one of our machine shops that we use for work.

I've heard multiple times that the dimensions for the 2" and 3" body lift steering extension are the same. I can see how they would be.

having just the extension available would make it so much more affordable to do a bl on your own. Barton, any idea on what the cost of one might be?

No idea, yet. I'm still waiting for the quote back from a couple places.
