Introducing the Solution to the Oversized GM Shift Lever Problem
We've worked hard to bring you a clean, OEM style solution for the oversized shift lever found in 2022.5 and newer GM Sierra and Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500 models.
One of the biggest complaints with these trucks especially the 2022.5 refresh models with the 13.4” infotainment screen is how the massive column shifter obstructs the screen while in Drive.
This issue continues in the 2024+ Silverado and Sierra HD (2500/3500) models with the same column-mounted shifter design.
- Shortened by 1.7 inches for better visibility and ergonomics
- Equipped with redesigned, OEM-style end cap
- Injection molded (not 3D printed) for durability and a true factory look
