There are 4 steps to be addressed when installing this body lift kit on your Jeep ™ CJ:
1: The steering shaft and/or column.
2: The radiator/fan shroud.
3: The clutch linkage (or automatic transmission shift linkage).
4: Installing the one inch 0 pucks and longer bolts.
STEP 1: The steering shaft and/or column. Since the body is going to be raised from the frame by one inch
and the column is attached to the body, the shaft that connects the column to the steering box will have to
gain length by approx. 3/8". There are two ways to make this happen:
1A: The shaft is telescoping from the factory (so it can collapse in case of a collision). To make it gain length
or extend the two halves must have the plastic locking device removed. The plastic must be melted out by
heating the shafts. If you choose this method (A), remove the entire shaft from the Jeep
™ . Use a torch and
slightly heat the two halves until the plastic is melted out and the two shafts will slide apart. Do this in a well
ventilated area cause the meeting plastic stinks! Clean them with a wire brush, and paint them. Do not rein-
stall the steering shaft at this time. See figure 2.
