Levers

Get a set of Forward Mount Rear Levers that put all three levers together. Save your center console that way.

Dog leg shifters will also move it some:

The part the switchs mount to pops out of the console. I relocated the rear window up/down button to where the clutch cancle button was, and got rid of the rear defrost button (didnt work anyway). The wiper, and window lock switches got moved to the epty spots right above the radio. I just rerouted the harness and extended where needed

Not to hijack, but how are you dealing with the rear driveshaft? In my extended cab pickup, the ds runs back, then down. Do you shorten the part that runs back? I'd hate to lose that part of the ds, keeps it tucked up to the frame.

Use a short throw kit on the rear case. I used to have the switches where my shock controls are located below:


Or I ultimately also moved my switches to the dash, they work so much better up there anyway, plus gave me a handy location for the shock controls.

Ditch the whole thing get a 1 piece shaft. Or shorten the piece before the carrier. Depends on your rear flex/pinion angle.

Drill out the tac welds that hold the bracket that the 10mm screws inside the console thread into and move the console back
