They are only used for body lifts,here is a copy/paste from the cunningham steering shaft thread i posted in shaft thread that explains it
for 3" body lift a extended shaft is also available,just ask for it in the notes before you checkout.I never ran the PA
steering extension that came with my kit (96+ style) as there is way to much play trying to run it,There is also play if you dont run one,Alot less and hardly noticeable if you try to look but it's there,After this my steering is so much more tight!!

Just my two cents... If you've taken a vehicle apart to this degree, you kind of want to do everything. Doesn't make sense to put it all back together with old stuff, and then get nickel and dimed with every little component breaking later on.
I agree, I'm at that point where I'm already 3k in it, will rarely drive it but also want it to last my life and my son's. So really the only old stuff I'm using is diffs, xfer case, trans, fuel tank and was thinking could skim out on new center link, steering gear and shaft
The SuperSteer is discontinued recently. If you dig, you’d probably find one, but you will pay a premium. They are awesome though. I agree with post #14, now is the time, will be more difficult and more expensive later. But great job so far!
I see what looks like a new 3/1 leaf pack, probably too late but I would’ve gone with a 4/1. Sits a bit higher, a bit firmer, but all in a good way.

I'll be the one to buck the trend here. When it comes to tie rod ends, idler/pitman arms, I generally only replace what's worn. For me, those parts last a long damn time. I have almost 300k on my truck and to date have only replaced a single tie rod end. Idler once and pitman three times. The new stuff isn't as good as what GM put on there.
