We offer one called the Slik Stik. It has the ability to offset up to 4" in any direction along with the ability to relocate to the mid shift position.

Give me a call if your interested.

the first one I bought was the PRO 5.0 becuase I had heard so much good stuff about it, no more missed shifts blah blah blah. Well I didnt care for it, really notchy, I bought my MGW and sold the 5.0 What a world of difference. The mgw is a superior product, No comparison. I will recommend the MGW forever now. I am one who has had both, this is my opinion, NOT a buddy or a friend But me. MGW all the way..

I agree on the Pro 5.0 being a total piece of ****. I also put rubber gaskets in hopes of making it semi quiet......still loud. I've always been curious as to how the mgw compares in terms of quietness?

what about one with a front and back offset too, mine has to be custom welded because it has to be moved about a inch to the left and 2 inches forward.
