I have enough overhead room in my shop to remove the steering wheel and raise the cab upward and backward. My son thinks I should unbolt the steering gear so we don't have to raise the cab so high. I'm new at this (and a little lazy) which way would you advise? Thanks for responding-----

Think of it this way remove 4-5/8" bolts or take a chance on dropping the cab and never having it straight again-ever.

Thanks Brad it's looks like removing the steering gear is the way to go. I thought I would save myself some work but I better do it the right way. Thanks--
