I went with RC, but probably i did not explain well, the bases were missing from the Jeep itself, not from the body lift kit which came with 12 pucks as it was meant to be!!!!! So i used only 8 of the 12 pucks!

Default Inner Boot Mod

Originally Posted by orfanidisnikolaos

You will probably have to change the cover of your stick, with a custom one cause the adapter comes in contact with the cover when you select 1st,3rd,5th. Not a huge problem but an issue to think about. If you dont install the adapter you will not be able to select 4th without popping even if you go with only 1inch body lift. I have an 2010 Jk 2dr manual.I dont know if there is a difference between 2010 and 2011.
Acutally i installed the daystar 1" body lift on my 6 sp Rubi, you can keep the shifter boot but you can cut the inner boot in the 7 o'clock to 4 o'clock position, essentially removing this part of the inner boot and problem solved. I found a write up online which had this mod described. Worked like a charm. Ahh and i kept the link. good luck. Love the daystar lift btw. it really smoothed out the ride.

Damn ouch!! Do you have a vice, if so open it up just a little so the mount sits on the top of the vice flush and the bolt is i'n the opening and then hit with big hammer . That way it's not going to move when you hit it and smash your thumbs!!! Don't ask me how I know lol
