Body lift steering extention

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

So I'm taking off marks 3" body lift and I forgot to take out the steering extention...
Now the body blocks are out but the extention is still on the steering shaft.
Is there any way to get the extention out without jacking up the body off the frame again?
I just loctitced all the body bolts so id rather not do this if there is an easier way :safari: .

I suppose you can try to move it without jacking up the body. I really doubt there is enough slack in that direction, though.

Unbolt from steering rack, then unbolt the steering shaft under the dash where it hooks to the column, then collapse it to remove the whole thing.

Remove extension and reinstall.
