Re: Just finished a lift
Forget spending my weekends searching for a PS hose that will fit. Simply cut the top steel line, put in 3/8" compression fittings and a 4" piece of copper tubing. Problem solved. Also, relocate the power steering resevoir unit lower on the firewall so there is no need to extend the large ...

Re: Extended intermediate steering shaft ?
Just finished a 4" body lift in front with pucks. Remove the steering shaft, cut it and weld a 5" piece of angle iron onto both ends with at least 1" of the angle iron welded onto the cut shaft. If you cannot weld, take the shaft to a welding shop and tell them what you want to do. Yo...

Re: Just finished a lift
Steering shaft was cut and lenthened so that at least 3" fits into the receiver. I will probably have to use a PS line from a 1500 with 4.3 cuz I have a Hydro Boost system. Or, I could custom build a new line using Aeroquip fittings like on race cars and custom bikes for the oil lines etc. Plas...

Re: Just finished a lift
K, that is what I assumed, just thought someone could give guidance as to which vehicle to get a PS hose from rather than searching. Thanks for the input.

Re: Just finished a lift, now PS hose is stretched to the ma
4" pucks or 4" weld on tubes, what would be the difference, both are 4", both move the body up 4", both stretch the PS hose. Trans cooler lines are OK, brake lines are OK, radiator lines are OK, wiring is OK, AC lines are OK, trans shifter arm is OK, top half of fan shroud remain...

Re: Just finished a lift
OK, I must not be as smart as some other people on this site. Please explain how, if the upper half of the shroud is stationary and that is where the air box mounts, with the body and subsequently the shroud move up 4 inches from stock position, how can the airbox fit better by cutting the bottom of...

Re: Just finished a lift
Spacers on the shroud has nothing to do with stretching the power steering hose. No the hoses were not leaking and still do not leak. The rear brake hose also does not leak and is not stretched because I did unbolt the clamp. If no one answers this questioin, I guess I will just have to look for ful...

Just finished a lift
I am new here and after reading several "lift" posts decided to do a 4" lift on my '96 2WD. Used pucks on the body and stock S-10 springs in the rear. Did the spacer thing on the fan shroud - however, no one has said anything about replacement of the power steering hose that gets stre...
