It is a Borgeson part.

I shorten the steering column almost 2" in all my trucks.
The deep dish wheel takes up about 3/4" of it.
So you are 1-1.5" shorter.
It is a real challenge with a three on the tree.

The U joint takes all the play out, not really a vibration issue, but all my stuff is new.

On the 4x4 I used the Borgeson tube for the slip joint on the steering shaft.
If I remember I will take a better picture of it.
That gives me the crush zone like the original column, but a couple more inches longer.

You don't have to do that, but a head-on with a solid shaft would be fatal.
