Hello my peeps! I know there is info on this but can’t find it so thought I’d ask the powers that be! I’m wanting to install new steering columns in my Cherokee comanche and yj. Movin the windshield wiper to the dash and getting rid of the key in the column as well. My question is can you put a shorter column in? Say your column is 32” can you put a 30” in? Basically to give a fat boy a bit more room? I personally don’t see why not but I’ve never done this. I’ve replaced with same units but never a different length. I figured as long as the blinker lever ain’t into the das and the mounting cup is same length to the end of the shaft it would work? Please feel free to poke holes in my theory. Haven’t bought the column yet and the mounting cup will have to be solved as they don’t seem to come with em. The little cup thing on the end of the column that bolts to the floor. Don’t know what it’s called but you get the idea. As always many many thanks!
