Hey how did you install the parking brake relocation bracket? I never installed mine but now I am swapping in a manual and i need to fix my parking brake. Did you have to drill any holes?

The parking brake relocation goes under the dirvers side door where the body bushing is. You have to drill 1/4 inch holes on the bushing holder and it bolts up. Here is a good link to use for the lift.

I finished the rear bumper today which was a PITA. But now I know how to put it on.

real quick.i hav heard that the steering shaft ext. is sometimes not always necessary..and vehicles will steer better without the ext.

truth to this?

I didn't install my steering shaft ext, and it felt odd for a few days but eventually the kinks worked themselves out and now theres not issue with the steering.

I ran mine for a while with the extension in, but later removed it. Steers better without. I wouldn't bother.

DO check the condition of your rag joints while you are doing this type of work. The extra angles can wear them out faster.
