Question Doing Body lift

Hey everybody, i'm doing a 3" body lift from Performance Accessories, and need to know how to overcome the problem i will have with the shifters. Does anyone know a way to overcome this problem. (shifters are not long enough). Anyone who has done a bodylift please help.

(manual transmission)

I'm guessing it's a manual. There should be two pieces of a steel rod with the kit that need to be welded into the shifters to lengthen them.

Body lift and manual tranny

From what I understand, anything over 1" in body lift requires that you cut your shifter and weld in some extensions. I've also seen some that were done poorly and broke, so make sure you get a good solid extension and a good weld.

I have a 2" body lift, but with an auto tranny, and I didn't even have to adjust my shifter, so it all just depends on your setup, but I am pretty sure you'll need to weld in some extensions equivalent to the amount of lift, which is 3".

I am sure someone will correct me if I am stating this incorrectly or incoherently.

My 0.03 (inflation)
