I will be ordering my Kenne Bell 8psi kit here in a couple of days. I also wanted to upgrade my shifter with something with stops. A short throw would also be very cool. I have looked on Hurst site but found nothing that I liked. I don't really know of any other brands that are really good. I was wondering if you guys with different shifter out there could give me some pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

I'd say it's 50/50 around here between the Steeda Tri-ax and Pro 5.0. I have had the tri-ax for 3 years now, I love it.

I agree. I've had both and I like them both the same. But I would not have anything other than either of the two.

I've used both Pro 5.0 and the TriAx. The Pro 5.0 feels a little more "solid" than the TriAx, but the TriAx handle has better geometry. Recommendation: the 5.0 shifter with TriAx handle

Thanks guys, I thing I will be going with the Steeda Tri-Ax. They are offering 10% off right now to SN members. I can use that $18 for new shocks after I lower it. You guys are awesome
