Problems???

Now after getting the 3" Body Lift my shifter on the console is dorked up. It ends up in between the normal spots meaning the RED/ORANGE tab is between each gear like reverse it is closer to park then reverse and so forth. Is there anything that can/needs to be done? Maybe the linkage is not long enough or something. I am no mechanic here LOL!

I have convinced myself I need to upgrade tires to the BFG's 35x12.50R18's KM's now to get the beefier look! What are your thoughts? I think they will fit now with the 3" Body Lift on top of the Daystar 2.5 leveling kit.

Go for it, dude. Your truck looks great, but those tires will blow people off the road. I thought I'd lose some of the "looks" I get from other truck drivers going from the Toreador Red to white. Quite the opposite, my truck is an eye catcher. I think the running boards are what makes it.

Sounds like the cable is to short, but not likely. down by the tranny on most is the ability to adjust the cable. Most have an adjustment at the bracket which should help this problem. Any questions, let me know.
