There you go, perfect!

Same answer as the guy gave you on FSC. Cooling will not be an issue as long as you use the include spacers for the Radiator shroud. Only issue i have had is the Parking Brake. The cable is a bit stretched but can be adjusted out

This is good to know, thank you.

A little bad news for ya. The fan shroud spacer isn't going to help keep your truck cooler. I found this out last year too, after I installed my 3" BL. I ended up buying a new radiator, fan, fan clutch, tried 2 or 3 different thermostats, and driving down the road it stayed cool, but as soon as I went offroad, it would start running hot. The problem is, when you lifted the body, the radiator went with it. Now your stock fan is still in the original location, making it to where it only blows on the lower half of your radiator. Time for some e-fans.

Can you please explain more about this situation:

same with 37's on 17" 05 Escalade wheels
no spacers. can still turn the steering wheel 3/4 turn then rubs on the frame at the rear (can't trim that!)
I can barely turn right at stop signs without a rub, anything tighter I do a 3 point turn just to be safe.

unbolt the sterring peice then push the thing down towatds the steering box so it collapses and then insert the ext and push it back up to connect the other side.
