I've installed HEAPS of sierra BL's (used to make them when I had access to a lathe) and never needed a steering spacer at 2" BL.
To clarify, Bennyzarb, you have to bore out and tap a thread into 16mm bolt creating a socket bolt. Just Cruzin's are very nicely made, and the cost of his kit is low enough that making the bolts yourself doesn't make any sense.
Steve.

Ahh ok I spoke to my local wrecker and they make body lifts for sierras and want $800 installed they said they make the blocks out of 50 mm steel and bend the shifter and put a longer steering shaft in out of an older Suzuki but the just cruzin one sounds better cause I get to keep $600 for some transfer gears  what do youse think of this body lift they make?

I'm not a fan of body lift, but his are top shelf, if I had to lift I'd use his...
