I would be making sure you have enough length in your steering shaft. The lower half of the steering shaft sometimes needs to be removed to adjust the slip joint on the lower end of the shaft.
If you haven't got the steering extension in you would be struggling to find the needed length I think?

Maybe you should pm or give Rod a call because he researched and developed the kit, so would know everything to do with it...

Also I thought I might mention I bought your body lift kit last year and would like to say how much of a breeze it was to fit and having the step by step instructions was very handy.

Thanks Jack, been reading this thread quietly and scratching my head at how problems are occurring for some guys in areas you don't need to touch to do a body lift. Yeh, I know, the VMN kit is a bit more expensive than other options and the cost of the steering extension is more due to the engineering and approval costs not undertaken by other suppliers. But if you do use my kit, you will have the confidence to know everything you need is in the kit so at the end of the day you can drive away if you follow the detailed instructions and photos that incorporate feed back from the hundreds of happy users.

One thing is the steering extension, i have been advised by an engineer that the original part can't be modified legally in SA, so, i spoke to surperior engineering, they don't specifically list an extension for an 06 IFS Lux, but they suggested people have used the extension for a live axle Lux on an IFS model.
Can anyone confirm if this will fit?
Cheers bogged tom.
