well gettin ready to 1" bl on my truck.....i have done several 3" and only 1, 3" on a manual......i have never done a 1" on a manual...the question i have is....is there enough room on the shifter to not need an extension? here's a pic......i got most of my interior out because im cleaning it and changing it out to gray...so i figured now would be the time to throw it on....also gettin the back sliding glass replaced because its leaking so i took my camper off for a min....lol

 

i think there should be enough height in the stock shifter but im not 100% in that

 

I had mine on for almost 2 years when I had it. its fine. But it does hit if you have a boot with the cup holders on the sides. It should hit in first and reverse I think I forget now. But someone said you can just use a dremal and cut it out I never did.

For a stock shifter I believe if you just flip the baseplate that says ranger and explorer on it to the explorer side it should give you the extra room for your 2/4/r throws. Never had a problem with first.

 

ya'll do realize im doin a 1" bl and not a 3" right? lol or does that pertain to the 1"?

 

Lol you n00b. You asked about a 1" they are talking about a 1" lol

Lol ya we were talking bout the 1 inch

 

Dont mind josh he is special lol

 

I didn't have an issue with mine, but I have the level II shifter.

 

let me know how this turns out.
I'd love to BL mine but I heard about the shifter issues.

 

Hurst will fix all the issues in one. Shorter shifts plus its tall enough for a 3" BL.

 

bingo! I have no problems with the hurst and didnt even make an extension for it.

 

i'm thinking of doing a 1" lift, do you need radiator mounts for a 1 inch, and you need a steering extension right

 

hmm i dont know on a gen 2. I know on the 98+ you dont need a steering extension or mess with the rad at all. You just pop the blocks in there with some new bolts and youre done.
