Depending on the lift brand you should have gotten a splinned steering shaft extension. When I put it on my 98 Dakota 4x4 it was the hardest part of the lift other than the front bumper brackets. To do mine I undid the front 4 body mount bolts and raised the body after I removed the driver side tire. I lowerd the frame away from the body and got the extension on. I am sure there are easier ways to do this, but this worked for me.

For the two inch lift I put a two inch block in the rear and cranked my torsion bars. After I get new tires, I am going to get the torson bars meant for the v8 and some new shocks, this should allow me to keep the hight without so much cranking.
