Body Lift Shifter Woes

I did my body lift this weekend, and I'm very pleased with it, I love it, the only problem I have is my shifters, My transfercase shifter is literally bent into an L so it will clear the gear shifter when it goes into 4-low, not to mention it hits me in the dang leg, so lets see pictures of your shifters if you've got a body lift, Also if anyone has an extra transfercase shifter and gear shifter I would buy them, so pm me.. thanks guys, I gotta figure this out.. its pissing me off.

Your body lift kit didn't come with extensions?

Nope, I called PA and they refused to send anything and said the kit didn't come with them.

Hmm, thats odd. I would go get some 3" long chunks of cold rolled steel and use those as extensions. In the PA instructions you need to graft them in at the bottom of the shifter. Doing this made mine clear almost everything.

I just had to bend my shifter, up and to the left a little to clear the t-case shifter. Been that way for over a year and no problems at all...

The chances of finding the shifters in the ONE junkyard in this town out of a toyota truck would be like finding one white guy eating at KFC in compton...

I found a used one on ebay once. I don't know why Dirtoyboy has been so slow responding lately.

The problem with the screw on ones from 4crawler is where they are attached. To the top of the shifter. You need to weld in the extensions at the bottom, BEFORE the shifter bends. This will clear the floor.

Huh??? Rogers short throw extensions do go on the bottom of the shifter.

Here's a pic or 2 of my install:









That last pic is with a 1 inch BL.
