 Subject: Steering shaft extension HELP!
IP: Logged
Message:
I have my 3 1/2 " lift installed except the steering shft extension.
I would really like to know what the PA kit extension looks like!
So far the lift has cost $45 for 3' of 3 1/2" UHMW plastic rod which we turned into 31/2" tall spacers and new 180mm long bolts. Truck looks great and now the diesel has lots of starter clearance. The only remaining problem is extending the steering shaft.
I know everyone is using the PA kit and someone must be able to snap me a pic.
While the body was unbolted I rolled the chassis out from under it and wire wheeled the whole thing and gave it a nice new coat of black paint, looks real clean.

Here you go...
all it does is clamp onto the post where the steering rod and knuckle was attached to and then allows the knuckle to attach to the new post of the extension piece. Thats it, hope it helps.

Thanks for the pic's. I made a great discovery today and now have the steering done.
Went to the auto wreckers for a wander around and found a Cherokee that uses the same lower half of the steering shaft only its 6" longer!
It uses the same U-joint and when set beside the Dak shaft looks exactly the same, only longer.
I cut it so its 1.5" longer than the stock Dak shaft and tapped it into the upper shaft. Now I have a totally stock looking shaft.
I will put a picture of it on my Dak / diesel conversion web site.
