I've just about finished this PA 3in body lift but I can't get the extension on. It looks like is doesn't need it. Is there anyway to make room, or should I just run it without the extension?

Don't run it w/o it... It's your steering we're talking about!!!!

Which rack n pinion did u take off? There's two... The first one out of the firewall isn't the one for the extension. It's the one after that.

Is truck still capable of being lifted up freely? Or are all bolts tight?

Well ****... My only advice would be to undo and lift and see if it fits.

No go on getting rims and tires put on, but I've got a few lights up on my dash now that concern me. Esp, traction control, and air bags. Any advice?

It has to be a plug that you forgot to plug back in... Or a fuse... Not sure what else it could be unless you pulled something to much and it snapped.

You think when I drop it off in the morning they will be able to figure it out? I checked and made sure everything was plugged in, and nothing seemed snapped.

Check your ABS sensors and all the wires around your brakes/axles, something similar happened to me

Time for an update. Still no luck with the lights on the dash, spent a week trying to get my new wheels on and now I'm back on stocks because the front passenger rim was never properly torqued. I noticed a shake when I got it back from the dealership so I called them and they said they couldn't get me in until Saturday, so I went to a local tire shop and noticed I could loosen the lugs with my fingers. Sure enough the lug holes had been reemed out and I've gotta wait till Wednesday for a new rim. So all and all this whole experience has been terrible and the dealership is refusing to pay for the work to be done because they told me I was responsible for retorquing the rims. But hey it's Friday and I've got a fun filled weekend on drill status. Sorry for the rant...it's just been one of those days

Well talked to the dealership and they are gonna reimburse me for the new rim and labor for everything. I still need to get the exhaust lifted and find out why I still have lights on the dash. But without anymore delay here's some pictures.

I'm leaving for a couple weeks to go run a job, so I'm gonna have the tips brought up while I'm gone. As far as the hitch, there's a bracket that attaches so it doesn't look too bad
