I personally wouldn't want to raise the steering box up... but that's just
me.  More stress on the frame and more tendency for failure.  If you have to
compensate for the body lift, get a borgenson shaft so you can keep the box
in the stock position, keep the collumn where it should be, *and* eliminate
the rag joint (I havn't put a borgenson joint in mine to eliminate the rag
joint, but I don't have a body lift to make it more of a neccesity.

I say again I don't think it's a good idea to raise up the steering box to
accomodate the column, especially with a better fix readily availible to
you.

Thanks,
Ryan
