Looking at getting an aftermarket shifter. This is my daily driver. What are your opinions on some of the best ones?

 

Hurst!

 

I have heard Hurst is the best.

 

Isn't Hurst the only option? The FX4 shifter looks nice but it uses the stock "shift linkage" so the only thing you're gaining is a nice handle.

 

^^ correct

 

will the hurst shifter use the same extension as the stock shifter did for a body lift?

 

No....

You need to look at the "3" bodylift extravaganza" thread at the top of the Body Lift section. I wrote an artical on Hurst's and BL's and it's in the first post of that thread. The Hurst replaces the entire shift mechanism.

 

exactly. but the nice part about a hurst is that u can make it to your height likeing because of the design since all u need is a flat piece of metal cut and 2 more bolts.....cuz short armed people like me prefer to stay in their seats trying to shift into 3rd lol

 

or 5th... HAHA



Grant's truck is difficult for me....such a long reach! haha.

 

ya...thats why mine was 2" up and 2" back.......god it was perfect.
