You mean further than it goes now?
It already feels like a bus in the up position!

i hate to admit this, but back around '71 or '2 i did a '64 impala using u-joints from an american driveshaft. worked real good for awhile but i forgot one inside retainer clip on one joint and was kinda all over the road til i finally got ot stopped. oops! well i'm older and wiser (sort of) and tend to not experiment so much. still...................

The airbag might become ineffective or dangerous.

X2, still thinking of a way to relocate the column. Maybe elongating the slots where it bolts under the dash. Then see how much it can safely be moved backwards.
