2" Body lift blocks Steering Shaft problem solved

Post by George1571 »

When I lift my 1988 astro van with 2" body blocks the steering shaft was too short for 1.50"
( 12 to 13” approximate extended, can not remember.)
and overland.com sold for 130.00 + shipping. I went to a junkyard
and buy one from a 2001 astro ($20.00 :-) and problem solved.
Some picture to this shaft, 1988 and new 2001.
