do i need a steering comlumb extension for 3 in BL?

 

[am92]

If you're talking about a steering shaft extension, I didn't need it and the guy who sold me the body lift didn't run one on his 98 either, but I think the earlier trucks do need them. The steering column doesn't need to be modified at all

the shaft extension comes in the kit and IMO means it needs to be used, but some do not, they say it has enough room to move down on it's own.

Would any one know which front bumper valance i should get with a 3 in bl? I dont want to cut anything at all.

If you get the normal 4x4 valance and flip the tow hooks it will work.

I bought a a 2wd valance when I did my body lift, I didnt need those lame tow hooks anyways.

Alright im not real knowledgeable on lifts, but i have a 98 chevy k1500 extended cab short bed, it has a 4 inch lift on front and back (at least so im told) i clear 33's no prob (i rub on my 13.50 in the front) but i was looking at getting a 2 inch body lift. Do i need to extend my lines or worry about anything else major? I have a custom bumper (about 400lbs) that makes a ranch hand look wimpy. But anyways, anything really needed to be done when i put it on? and could i clear 35's with about a 10 inch width? Thanks!

With just the 2" body lift nothing else needs to be extended, you can get away with just putting the blocks in. Post a pic of your truck and we can see if you have an actual suspension lift. If so clearing 35's shouldnt be a problem.
