My old 96 Sploder I converted to the 4406m and I had a 3" body lift Lol

Shifter assembly can be a PITA to find
The reason is when the junk yards take apart a truck the transmission goes to one shelf and the t cases go to another
The linkage is mounted to the transmission
So what I did/do if I cannot find it at my local junk yards, I will go to the wrecker and explain to them what I am looking for and why, usually they will send me back to the shelf of transmissions with a guy and I will point out what I need
You need linkage off a 4r70w 4x4 transmission from a F150
AND the connector rod that goes from t case lever to the linkage
Let me see if I can find some part numbers for you
The body lift has little to no effect on you, in fact I usually cut down the F150 4x4 shift lever a few inches when we put these in explorers because they are too long, chop and weld... with the body lift the shift lever length is just about right
I used a shifter boot from a geo tracker in my 96, it worked perfectly.
