Yes we do, and no many of our short throw shifting kits are NOT on the website at this time. I am diligently working on something other than adding more projects to the website, which will be done in due time.

Yes, but you have to send them your stock shifter to be modified, and a new base is provided. I have already asked about this you can find the post in 4wd suggestions and ideas.
