Most people are getting the Trailmaster 6" extension and shortening it to fit. One person had a custom shaft made from borgenson. You have to change the shaft from a double joint to a single joint shaft. I heard this is a PITA to do so you might want to seek a shaft elsewheres.

This site should give you the basics/pictures of what you need to do

Heres what I did on mine. After you drop the rack, the steering shaft will still be pointing straight down. Remove all the bolts inside the cab on the fire wall that holds the plate that the shaft goes trough. Un-bolt the steering shaft from the steering column itself. What you will end up with is a type of cv joint allowing it to make the drop straight down. It is a two piece unit in stock form. It will have two sets of universal joints, but there are two balls that stop each from going flat. I took the shaft apart and pressed one of the uv joints out and cut the balls off to make a single joint. You will need to grind a little knick out of the flange on one of the yokes to get the end cap of the uv joint to come out. It is held in and will not come out without this. Put the coupler that hooks to the steering column on the uv joint at the top. I then used my Trailmaster steering extension and slid it over the stock Taco splines. The TM extensions bolts right up to an 85ish Toyota rag joint which will have the same hole size and spline count for the IFS steering box. I've got some pics and I can take more if you need them. Let me know if I can help more..

Also I forgot to add this to my post. My steering box is straight up and down, no angle at all. I didn't have to cut my steering shaft or extension at all. There was enough spline to make everything fit.I don't have a body lift on my truck but if I do install one I may have to rotate the box a bit to reduce the angle on the shaft.

Everone over at TTORA does it the hard way:rolleyes::D All you need to do is get a complete steering shaft from an '86-'95 truck and it will bolt right up to the tacoma steering column. Done!:p
I did have to shorten the new steering shaft a couple inches. :)
