Does anyone have a picture of the shift linkage they needed to weld when doing a 2-3" body lift?

I just did the body lift. Your going to be taking the linkage off that runs close to the firewall, and has the adjuster on the bottom of it. If you need a picture i can go take one

On a side note: The peice that came with the kit, made my shift linkage so long that it hit the control arm mount. so i only added in maybe 1 - 1.25" total to my linkage

i know which piece that comes off. i was just wondering if you weld a piece to the end of it? or do you cut the linkage and weld the piece into the middle of it.

I cut mine above where the adjuster is, in the straighter part of the linkage. Sorry for the pic angle but standing on a ladder and leaning over is a pain lol

I know this is an old topic but when I did my 3" BL I extended that rod as people say to do. I never looked first. Just popped it off and welded it and went to install it and that is when I noticed.....
From the column to the lower mount there is no need to lengthen that rod as the mount is attached to the body. Lengthening it does nothing.
ON MY 01.
There is a rod that runs from that mount to the mount on the transmission that ends up becoming angled sideways instead of level. No issue there.
On my 01, ABSOLUTELY NO MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE.
A small adjustment on the T-Case linkage and Rock N Roll.
