Just wondering if anyone has done a 2" body lift on a 5 speed truck. I have a 2000 Blazer ZR2 5 speed. I'm going to purchase a 2" PA lift. Doesn't look like the kit has anything to adapt the gear shift. Thanks

Only difference is the manual shifter. Your current shifter now will be 2" lower and the shifter boot will be crumpled up a bit more from the compression. Nothing else changes but you'll have to learn to reach down to shift afterwards or extend the column.

I have a 3" PA body lift on my 6 speed Ram...pretty much the same deal but I had to bend my shifter just a little to clear the console. Then it was bent and too short so I'm making a new one out of this...

That is f***ing awesome! Haha that is a well crafted piece.
You should market those.

I "charmed" the bartender chick in to giving it to me. Straight from the pub! I wish I could take credit for it...lol.

I have an acrylic Miller Lite tap handle on my 92. I had to do something...the guy had a really cool motorcycle foot peg on it before but my hand would freeze to it.
