i never cut my boot.. that is dumb.. i stretched it over to keep it at the stock place where it sits.
The LSS goes well with the Pro 5.0. When I went from the stock 5.0 shifter to the LSS I was like 
because of how low everything sat. Now that I am used to it, the LSS doesn't feel as short now. I still love it though and probably won't cut it down any.

When I first installed mine the stop bolts were keeping it from going into gear. Did you adjust them while in gear and back off 1 turn? That's how I set mine up. Works great, goes into gear easily and you can't over-do it.
Uhmmm...think about it. If you stretched that boot I showed in the pic up and over the base of the shifter, you just exposed all the shifter guts to the road elements under the car....and that's dumb. The stock shifter has a boot built in the shifter to protect it.

did you cut yours???? b/c with mine all i did was were the screw starts at the bottom i jsut pushed it up so that it is right below the screws liek yours
Yeah, I cut it. Don't know how you managed to get it around the base without cutting. That's an awfully tight fit isn't it?
