After installing the 2 inch body lift my steering has become stiff. Before I could turn the wheel lock to lock with 1 finger sitting still. My air pressure is ok in the tires. Now it feels like rack and pinion with no power assist. It steers like my old 2x4 93 Nissan PU with no power steering. Is this normal due to a slight angle in the shaft now?

It sounds like the body lift is the culprit, but that's far from normal.

Hey KAHKI X,

Just a thought, but did you loosen the clamp bolts on each end of the steering shaft during the install?

Yep, I lossened both sides and made sure the shaft was in each end. I took up the difference between both ends.
