With a 2" BL, with some manufacturers, you have to remove the steering joint to install a relocation bracket. And when you put back the shaft, it's possible that the position will not be exactly the same. THAT's why you have to recenter the steering sometime

basically was going to say the same thing.

2" is too much of a body lift in my opinion... just because of the way it looks is enough reason for me to never want to consider it.
