Steel, with a thin rubber damper washer each side.

Do you think I would need to extend the steering rod on a 50mm body lift?

Yes .... the steering box is chassis mounted, not on the body. With the body lift you would be increasing the distance between the steering rod copling and the box, so you would have to conpensate with an extension piece.
