i sat in my truck for a long time measuring and find a spot that would "Feel" right... But just never found a spot i liked... if i left the stock console in i would loose cupholders and if i tried to keep the cupholders.. i would rack my knuckles in park...so thats why i went with my own console... if you dont mind loosing the cupholders then it will fit without removing the center seat... if you really want to do this mod go buy the shifter and sit in your truck like i did and measure stuff out.... im sure you will want to get rid of the center seat though

I am in the same boat. I have the megashifter truck version and I pulled the console in the middle, and have been measuring for about 2 weeks. I think the toughest part is get the cable ran on my lowered truck. Anyone got to that point yet?
