Good morning guys, I realize this is my first post here but I have done fairly extensive research on this topic and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice.
First off, I have a 1995 Tahoe 4x4. I recently replaced the rag joint with a Dorman part (had to drill out rivets and use bolts) and was disappointed with the results. Also, all of my other steering components appear to be in decent shape, so i think the slack is still in the rag joint.
I understand that on 95 and up steering columns, there is a tulip joint on the cab side of the firewall so the Jeep intermediate steering shaft mod will not work due to the addition of a third joint. This also means that the Borgeson steering shaft will not work.
My research has lead me to another option, which is to remove the rag joint entirely from the factory intermediate shaft and install a Flaming River U-joint. I have seen this mod done on s10 forums (see link below) but I want to make sure that this will work for my full size.

The lower half of the steering shaft looks identical to mine but the upper portion seems different...will this matter?
Thanks for reading this!
