    Whats up with this stick being is long? (get your mind out of the gutter please!) I've seen them where the 4x4 shifter is much shorter than this. The seller tells me its completely stock.. anyone..

    Looks normal to me other than looking like it's in the 4low position.

    You usually view the shifter in 2HI, which makes it appear shorter. That picture has the shifter in 4LO, making it appear longer as the angle is greater than it is when in 2HI.

    Additionally, The boot is also lower on the shaft, which gives it the illusion that it’s longer.

    Give us a side shoot to see the height difference with the knobs off. Maybe the 4x4 shift knob is not all the way threaded down
