I second that. If its a manual, you need the shifter extension as well. Make sure it comes with the steering shaft extension too

2004 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 3" body lift ... I saw a Totally Full Complete 10 page write-up and I cant find it again, sorry to say it might of been on "another" Ranger site, but it Should be here...........................I LOVE this Site !!!!
If I find it again, I will post it here.... tells u Everything u need to know, before totally all ripped apart & needing more parts & hardware & can't drive to store ..
The "$300 "Kit" is just the Basics, One Example: I Never saw a kit with gas tank extensions, i was leaking gas for weeks before even noticing & finding the exact size inner & outer metal tubes (weird Bent double-tube 90 ranger that only filled SLOWWW til i figured it out)
