I ended up buying the UMI short stick, works perfect. Same thing more or less.

The UMI stick looks pretty good. I dont think you can go wrong with either that or the LSS.

I chose to modify my stock Pro 5.0 stick. I cut as much of the threads off as I could. Then I put the stick in my press, and bent it back and over towards me. Now, when in neutral it sort of leans back and over towards me. I can hit 1,3,5 now without pushing my arm straight out. Im 6'4, so I sit pretty far back, and when shifting into those gears my arm would be sort of stretched.

Just recently, I bent it even further. Im going to see how it feels, and if it needs to be modified more, I plan to cut some more of the shaft out of the middle, and weld it back together.

Maybe Im being cheap. But this way its EXACTLY how I want it to sit/feel.

I have a B&M shifter in mine now. I picked up a hurst Piston grip **** with button. If I put in on this stick I will be punching my dashboard 1-3-5 and elbowing the back window 2-4-6. It is literally that much taller than a stock ****. Im not sure the height difference between the b&m stick and the stock one?

I just got a pro 5.0. I also got the WS6 store 6 1/2 inch stick. Will this bolt up to the 5.0?
