Re: Steering Shaft
Unless you are going four wheeling I don't think a street rig has much worries about cab and frame flex with two U joints in the mix. Remember the original box has a solid shaft and column and unless the cab mounts are shot you don't have a flex issue.
Some guys like the slip joint in the shaft to take up the impact if you do get in a wreck. Better to have it collapse than push the wheel into your face and chest.
