    I have an 05 edge reg cab and am going to be putting a BL on, i was wondering if itll fix a little problem ive had. My Ebrake cable is stretched, will it take care of the slack? Also i dont have the shifter extension yet. Can i just remove the boot for now?

    No, without the shifter extension you will not be able to shift gears once lifted. The boot has nothing to do with it, it is more of the opening in the body. If you do not have the extension, you will hit the sides of that opening now allowing it to go into gear.

    No problem. I've seen people fab some up before, but it'd be best just to wait for it to get there and then throw on the lift. If you have any other questions just let us know!

    And PS -- pic or it didn't happen! You should take pics all the way through the process.

    What kit did you order and where did you get it from? The shifter extension was only available seperate from the kit itself I thought.

    Mines a PA Body. The box says 01-05 Ford Ranger/Mazda B Incl. Edge(Manual Trans Req). How do you post pics? Im 99.9% sure this is the extension.

    Its the cylinder type thing with the bolt through it and the stub or whatever you wanna call it sticking out the top. It came with truck when i purchased it so i have no clue where it came from, but it was brand new still in box

    Use photobucket.com to put up pictures. All you have to do load it to PB, hover over the image and copy the img tag link and then paste.

    That is a great description of it. I don't think I could have put it better. But that sounds like it.

    That looks like it.

    Next time you post a pic use the very last code you can copy. That is the image code. It's the same thing that you posted but with [​IMG]

    You are right Fx4. I thought about it after I got home and realized they look very similar. Thank you for the correction. I didn't sign back on when I got home from work to post it so you beat me too it.

    If i remove the boot and cupholder can i buy an aftermarket boot like the hurst boot and be alright not using the extension? At least temporarily.
