Recently completed a 1.25" BL and a 1" MML. I am noticing that shifting into 2nd, 4th and Reverse it seems like the shifter boot is getting hung up on the console. Is this typical and does anyone have any remedy for this. Have purchased a new Mopar Trans mount and plan on installing this weekend or next.
 
I have noticed the same thing. Make sure that the shifter boot is seated all the way down and that the plastic console is tightened down firmly against the carpet. In my case, doing that allows me to shift fine (although you can still feel that it's tight).
 
by raising the body 1.25" the shifter shaft is hitting the bezel that hold the boot in place. You need to take out some of the bend on the shaft so it clears the bezel, or modify the bezel.
