I just did a 3" strut lift (front & back) with 2" drop blocks for the engine, tranny and rear diff. I had to extend the steering shaft by 1.3". To extend the steering shaft: Remove the shaft. Scribe a line across the middle section to ensure the shaft goes back together in the correct orientation after cutting it in half and welding it back together with the extension. cut it in half at the center weld. cut a piece of bar or pipe to the desired length (I turned down the ends of the extension on a lathe so the extension slipped into the cut halfs of the steering shaft). Weld it in place (make sure you dunk it in water as you weld as the temps from welding are not good for the rubber seals in the steering shaft) making sure the lines you scribed previously line up. Install.
