Hello,
I'd like to know from anyone with experience with this if the omix ada or the crown heavy duty (u joints on both ends) steering shafts will be a worthy upgrade over the oem shaft. my stock shaft is worn and Id like to replace it, just dont know if my situation requires a $260.00 Borgeson shaft. 1" body lift and a 2.5" shackle/spring lift with 32" tires on a 79 cj-7.

Thanks!

Jon

Thanks everyone!
It came, and Its on. $103.00
It's a little short with the 1" body lift. it seems safe, it fit the grooves.
I really like the improvement.

Did you completely extend it first? Mine has a 1" body lift, and my steering box is moved 1.5" forward, and I had plenty to reach.
I completely extended mine and lubed it up before installation. It was a little stiff at first. Once lubed, and worked in and out, it could easily be completely compressed and extended by hand.
