TWM stage II (if you want a low height) and then hit up RedlineGoods (I think that's the name of the vendor....check the vendor sales forum) for a new boot kit.

Only some manufacturers. TWM has a stage II but I've never heard of a Stage I by them...haha...May just be a name for them.

Oh, also, just remember that the lower the shaft, the more the throw will be to shift into gear. Granted, it'll still be reduced from stock, but if you get a short shifter with an only "slightly" lowered shaft from stock, the effort to shift will be minimal compared to a short shifter with a really short shaft.

The further your hand is away from the pivot point, the less overall effort (and more leverage) you have in the shift.

Gear engagement is a bit easier so you reduce time between shifts.

TWM stage 2 isn't even very low. I can go an inch lower... if that's what you're into.

Didn't realize you had a lower setup.

O.P: Go with Dr. Isotope's setup. More reliable and he does the hard work of the shaft install for you. You just replace the whole cage
