With 2" lift and 2" body lift with a bit of beating and removing the out riggers you shouldn't need much bump stop extention if any at all.

I didn't have to do anything with my steering column when I fitted my body lift. The only minor issue I had was the hole in the transmission tunnel fir the stubby lever, wouldn't let the lever stay in low range, easily fixed with the lump hammer tho

X2 for both those responses. I've fitted at least a dozen 2" BL's on sierras and never had a problem with the length of the steering shaft.
You won't need bumpstop spacing to run 31's with a 2" BL.

if you need a steering column shaft try and find one of the collapsable ones and drill out the plastic pins

If I remember correctly, zukofhzrd was thinking of getting some stuff like t/f case gears and body lift from the states, so I assume from lowrange. Their kits come with all the mounting hardware needed but no steering column spacer, this is the kit I bought an you don't need a spacer for the steering column as there will be no issues

ok kool, so bump stop spacers are just so the bigger tyres dont scrub on the body, is that right?
