We have worked hard to find a solution for the 2022.5 and up GM Sierra/Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500 HUGE shift lever. More importantly blocking part of the 13.4” screen while in drive with the refresh 2022.5+ Silverado column shifter and the 2024+ Silverado/Sierra 2500 and 3500’s.
Our BL Customs modified OEM GM shifters have been shortened by 1.7" with our redesigned OEM look end caps.
