on my 2000 it isn't necessary because the steering column telescopes.

Yes, and the answer is, - it depends, on my 92 with 3" BL it had a steering shaft with ragjoints in it, (big rubber washers) and I didn't have a shaft extension, it wouldn't fit.
Went to the junkyard, got a steering shaft from a BroncoII with 2 little ujoints instead, that one fit perfect, no extension.

On my 91, when I got the kit it had an extension, but when I went to put it on, found my truck had a shaft with 2 ujoints, slid it up and bolted it on, works perfect.

And the shifter, liked it better on my 92 without an extension, seems lower and easier, seems like a shorter throw too.

Still got the extension from my 91, you can have if you wanna pay shipping, but I'd just look at it and go get a longer ujoint shaft if you need it, I think they turn better with that and will last longer anyway.........
