Have been talking to others, just wondering if what I have are the STOCK forward controls or extensions? Every forward control extension kit I have seen is made with plates, mine are thick all the way through?

So are these the stock ones?

Thanks.

Not trying to argue with you BWG-appreciate the help and knowledge, you know more for sure...but then in this thread:

People are saying that he has 2.5" extensions on his and they actually look exactly like mine...but my assumption was as was yours, if it doesn't have the PLATES, they are stock.....

Attached pic from that post about shift linkage length...

Thanks,

The pic BWG put up is one of after market design.
The control mounts you have on your ride are the OEM BD 2.5 extensions.

Thanks! I was just a little confused, some people said I had extensions, some said they were OEM....By STOCK I meant, normal length and that could have been confusing....

Thanks all for helping clear that up...

Well there you have it, I don't know $hit. I should've measured mine before I posted:bang::lol:
We all learn something every day.....I was just a little confused, since most of the pics I found seem to indicate that Ridgebacks have the 2.5" extensions on them....and then there were the posts that said I HAVE them and others that said I didn't...just wanted to make sure....I am 6" even and have a tiny bit of trouble shifting, it's more along the lines of uncomfortable.....so, I may have to find some STOCK length ones to feel a bit safer....

Thank you all...

Those are extended controls, the shift side is a one-piece unit and the brake side has an extended plate. Easiest way to verify is measure your shift rod. I think the stock unit was 11 inches but don't quote me on that
