I'm hoping to get my 3" pa body lift installed this weekend. My truck is an 04 4x4 club cab v8, how big of a job is this? is there any welding or cutting required? Anybody have any pointers for me? thanks

Yeah... I broke the bolt on the steering shaft trying to get mine off. :clap2:
So I did what I've done to the last two trucks.... welded in a 3-4" piece of square tubing... didn't even have to take the shaft out... which saved about 3 hours of swearing and throwing wrenches. :banana2:
P.S. AND POST SOME PICS!

ive got the extention and ive tried it on the top of the shaft and the bottom of the shaft and it wont stay tight... the aluminum just wollers out and gets loose again... i would just go on and put in a extention
