Body lift, what are all these parts?!?!
Hey guys,
I just just got this body lift of fleabay and I am wondering what some of this stuff is. I got the 2'' lift of ebay for around $50 bucks, but the problem is I dont know what a few of these things are. Here are some pictures, the first one is a pair of brackets (bumper?) and one odd shaped bracket(no clue).

the second pic are for bed spacers, they will prevent the bed from sagging with a load in it.... kinda hard to decipher, but they are sitting on the frame, just above the rear axle and under the bed, they are welded to the frame

This is a complete guess as I have no idea about the 92. In the first pic the big plate. Could it be something to do with the steering. I've read before about a plate that gets mounted to the fire wall for the steering shaft. I forget what year and models it was for though.

Ok, I got one more question for you guys what are some of these things. The bolts circled in light blue seem to go together but one bolt is just a bit shorter than the other 3... I have no idea what the things are circled in dark blue are, they are like metal dowls. The Brackets circled in red have one open hole in one end and the other end has a bolt already connected to it. And finally the Green circled brackets just have 2 holes in them. Anyone know what this stuff is?

The parts in the red are the radiator drop brackets, and the parts in the dark blue are shifter extensions (weld-in). Not sure about the others. Did you get any paperwork with it?

no paper work, jsut a bunch of parts. Im pretty clear on almost everything, but how is the steering angle adjustment installed? Inside the firewall or out? Also where do I mount this steering extention? Inside the cab or near the end of the steering shaft?

Ok, Ive just got the body up on the block and 2 of the bolts are too long by about 1/2 longer than the other bolts that fit correctly. What the hell, anyone done a body lift and had this happen?

I got new bolts, but now the problem is the stupid steering extention. I tried putting it by connecing it to the steering shaft and the open splined end would not fit over the spline on the power steering box. So then I tried to put it on up by the u joint under the dash but then I count get the shaft to fit into the open end of the extension. Its like 30 degrees out and pitch black so i decided to stop. Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work?

More info.
Picture of the clamp:
A lot of folks have trouble with that style extension and they are not all the strong. I've supplied quite a few of my rag joint extensions to folks who either could not install that extension or whose broke in use:

Tomorrow Im gonna try to shim it up with washers and see if i can get it to fit. All I have done so far is is the 6 cab mounts and its starting to look pretty good. Oh yeah, one more thing. After lifting the body it seems that when the shift boot is on the shifter has a hard time going into the lower gear set. When I took the boot off it seemed to shift just fine. Any clues? Also how do the 2 black boots underneath the main boot mount up?

its the retainer ring for the shift boot and the hole in the floor, its not big enough for the new throw of the shifter..... i had problems with my stock one when i went to drive after my bl..... so i got a carbide bit and enlarged the hole... i could have reused the stock boot with retainer ring had i done some modification to it, but i damaged it on removal and a new one from the factory was $50! i went to autozone and got a big one and used screws i had at the house....
