Well, after some trial and error test fitting, I just finished this upgrade, and it is amazing! As Fred said, highly recommended. So nice not to hear all that linkage banging around over every bump. For the record, I also did not need the Heim stabilizer. Some things to consider if you are doing this:

Change both column bearings while you are there. You will only need the inner snap-in portion of the bearings; the metal outside portion has been modified for our columns, so you can leave it alone.

Don’t let the DD shaft protrude too far into the top knuckle of the steering rack joint. It will hit the bottom knuckle while turning. I learned this the hard way. Hence the trial and error.

The stock top shaft that slip-fits into the column hollow tube is around 4” long. I cut the new one around 6”, but it may have been a bit easier to install had I cut it the same as stock length.
