Oem F **** or F sport? gave my Fsport a few more turns to sit lower but be careful as it could raise the top
Another option could be cutting a few threads of the rod

I could never get my original one to go as low as I wanted so I went back to the f sport shift **** from my 350. It doesn't bother me being the f sport **** in my F because I like how it is quite a bit lower and I like the blue stitching.

Or you could run a tap further down the ****. And no cutting.

wouldn't work. i messed up one stock **** by making the shifter go through the shift **** top, lol.

i drilled into the oem shift **** a bit and it looks lower but when you put it back in D, it will look long again. ive asked this question about 4 years ago, seems hard to take out the oem shfiter. if i could do that, i can easily bring to shop and have it shortened correctly.

Just thinking out loud. I wouldn't do it anyway.

My F sport **** pretty much looks identical to the picture flowrider posted. I didn't take a picture of the original **** but it was not even close to being that low.
