Working my way through DPG OME lift kit. I have so far deferred the MML and BL due to other NSG370 2005-06 owners documenting trouble with their shifter hitting the console and destrying the lower shift boot, as described below:

I'm happy on 33's with 2.5" suspension lift, and don't want the expense of a flat belly, but I'm wondering if something like the UCF "No BL req'd" TC skid would allow me to mount the BL and MML and keep the shifter/console in position as well as run stock driveshafts, control arms.
The UCF skid claims 1.5" above stock, plus the 2.5" SL gets me 4" at the TC; some LJ users ( @Apparition , @rasband @DuncLJ ) seem to have gotten away with this in the Official Tummy Tuck thread.

Ah man, you're going to have the same problem I had. I have an 05 with the 6-speed, we have the same lower shifter boot. Mine tore to shreds after I got my 1.25" BL. I'm curious, do you also have a MML? WARNING: If you just put a new lower shift boot on there to keep all that heat from coming into your cab, you're just going to end up tearing it up again. I had to move the shifter connection point up to get it out of where the rubber is supposed to be AND I had to move the console back 1".

FYI, the real solution is a Tummy Tuck.
