I just wrote a whole post on all the problems I've had with my BL due to the 6 speed. I know some guys run them with no problems but I'm going have to take it off and walk away from $200. the problem does not seem to be brand specific, but more vehicle specific.
It you decide to do it I'd look at the rough country kit. It comes with the lift, shift adjuster, and rear bumper relocator for what I paid for just the lift.
Hope it works for you.

I have M.O.R.E. 1". With a manual you can only go 1" BL before you run into shifter clearance issues. The M.O.R.E. is aluminum pucks so, they are very noticeable. I like them being noticed. Other than that a body lift is a body lift. Also, you will need to cut the shifter boot....a few weeks ago I upgraded to a custom made leather boot...very nice.

I just installed the rc body lift on my 07'. Install was a breeze and the shifter extender works fine. Overall I'm pleased with it. Also like the fact that it came with the rear bumper relocator so that you dont have a gap. No brake line issues at all with this kit and my TF leveling kit.
