PM sent!

What additional hardware is included with the transfer case drop Kit?
An extension tab for the shifter, two bolts, nuts and lock washers.

Welp, I'm going to pick up the shifter assembly out of a np242.

I'll report back how that goes
It should work just fine. I would swap the "Z" gate of the 231 shifter assem over to the 242 however. I believe that is the only difference between the two.

I posted this on NAXJA and I thought I'd put it here too for visibility:

Installed today. Bryson's shipping is super fast. I have a AW4 and transfer case drop. I ended up using the extension all the way to its longest setting and using the back most hole on the TC side. I also had to shorten the linkage to its shortest setting. The default install(with the instructions) did not allow my 231 to come out of 4 low. So this is the combo that worked for me. Shifts are now super positive as they should be. I did have to remove the case Z gate as the shifts were right at the gate

Thanks Bryson do an awesome product

I suppose I'll post up my experience as well. First off unless you entirely fab your own linkage this is probably the best product on the market, especially at this price. So I have a fairly unique set-up , AX15, 242, and running a 1in t-case drop. I fiddled with the boostwerks linkage for a while trying to get it to work. However I still couldn't get it to go through all 4wd modes. Eventually I determined that the tab extension wasn't long enough (granted I didn't order the 1" drop kit). So I made a new shift lever extension that was about %50 longer and bent out towards the front a bit. With that setup I was able to make it work. Overall still a great product and I would recommend it to anybody who is looking for a new, reliable, adjustable, effective, and affordable t-case linkage set-up.

ordered sunday night.
looking forward to reliable shifts. those green bushings always seem to decide to go at the worst time. i used to carry a couple spares, used all of them up. I was looking for a more permanent solution.
haven't gotten it yet, but it looks like just the fix

I no longer offer the manifold due to MFG expenses. I had over 22 labor hours into each one and was loosing money on everyone I sold. I then tried raising the price but didn't sell any in over a year. I do have a cast iron manifold in the works however, but it will be some time yet before that becomes available.

Did you have issues with the site? I know the link of Boostwerks.com is dead, but I'm still here, and plan on sticking around for some time.
