Got mine in today. I used a couple washers where it bolts to both tabs. Made it easier to deal with that sunken in spot on the shifter tab and gave more clearance at the case side. I would recommend throwing some in there with the kit.

Mine is a little sticky going from 4hi to neutral but its not bad at all.

A shift lever extension helps a lot with that in my experience.

OOOOhhhhhh I really hope you get the 242 extensions going.... I reeeeaaaaally want a beefy setup when I do my 4wd swap. I've heard that stock setup is crap.

I literally have the same ends as the kit. It's not worth the $38 kit price for linkage that won't be used and an arm. Is someone looking into this or am I on my own still?

I think you're time must be worth less then others I personally have the kit and feel it was well worth the money my time away from my kids is worth more the $40 an hour. This kit was bolt in and gonna make clocking my case that much easier. Are you looking into this or jealous your not profiting off this?

Simpleton. Maybe you can use your $40 and throw 3/4 of it away. I'm not.

It's called using parts you already have. I already have the exact parts for the linkage. If boostworks can't answer a simple question, I'll go elsewhere. End of story.

Got mine today. Looking forward to the install.

I assume these plastic plugs are for the holes left after removing the shifter linkage bracket?

probably something new he's including. They're just generic black plastic plugs - you can find them at the local hardware store for a few cents

I'm not too concerned lol. I didn't even remove the stock linkage bracket. It wasn't in my way so I didn't bother.

I'm not seeing your question?

Literally hundreds of people have made their own. Some of whom have purchased our kit. Build your own, or purchase mine. Either way works for me.

Yup. I still need to update the instructions for them, but they are optional if you choose to remove the body side bracket.

Thanks again for the orders everyone! We've been getting a bunch of great feedback!

Again, if you have a few minutes to spare PLEASE leave us a review on the website!

Just saw this. But no. It's simply not worth my time to offer just the tab when the majority of people are looking for a full kit.
