its because the column is permanently attached to the steering box, and moving it up or down at the dash would take it out of alignment.

did you rebuild the floor of your truck? did you put rubber between the front cab mount and the cab? did you change out your rear cab mounts? are the rear cab mounts sagging?

I would look from the side and see if your cab is maybe a little low in the rear. you could take the rear body mounts loose and use two jacks one on each side of the back of the cab, and lift the rear slightly. the gap might close up a little. if it doesnt, you might have your front floor 1/2" too low.

I hate those columns, by the way, I always end up cutting them in half because taking the cab off the frame is a gigantic pain.
