Tilt column question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As with everything I touch on this Blazer the tilt column is barely functional and needs a rebuild. Sometime in the future I may be going to rack and pinion if I ever do the suspension work. I have read you need a shorter column so the angles on the joints aren't too sharp causing binding.

If I end up buying a column in the next year I want to get one that would work in the future if I end up going rack and pinion. What length would be ideal (I understand I will have to lengthen or go to universals to work with what I have stock)

Which is better ididit or flaming river in your opinion?
