Hope this is helpful. You will enjoy the shorter throw. I can keep my right hand on the wheel when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Big improvement over stock.

I don't have any pic's. The stock upper shifter is used. After it is installed it looks the same. The shifter is the same height. The only difference is the distance between the shifts are 40% less. I don't have to move my short arms as far to shift. It makes for faster shifts which in turn are smoother because there is less rpm drop. But these are truck transmissions so you can only shift as fast as the transmission will allow.

I just finished the install. It was very easy. Only mistake I made was removing the rubber boot before removing the screws, so I ended up tearing it. The shifts are shorter, IMO I wouldn't say they are 40% shorther though.....maybe an inch. Regardless, it still makes a difference. IMO it also seems like the shifting is tighter now to get it into gear.......which I like. If you have any questions, PM me.
