$10 (shipped) eBay shift extender
Just buy a shift extender for a Wrangler. Worst case scenario, if you don't like it you're only out $10.

my driving style emphasizes smooth shifting over fast shifting so if you're the same, this might work for you.
pros:
.super cheap
.good quality
.smoother shifting
.knob position is in a more natural position and is much easier to reach
cons:
.looks a bit ridiculous IMO
.extra length causes more "play" and wiggle (shifts don't feel as crisp as the stock height)
.stock boot doesn't reach all the way to the knob
.you may bump your knuckles on the fan control if you have the stock shift knob (my momo knob sits noticeably lower than stock)
.shifts feel too light (i love my momo knob because it has significant weight to it, but this extension negates that effect)
overall, i like it. it will take a short time to get used to but i didn't miss any shifts in the two days that i've had it. i think that if you have a short shift kit but want you want your knob closer to your steering wheel, this might be for you and the "wiggle" that the extension introduces may be defeated. it might make a good pair.
let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks Sol/NPH.
I kinda figured it'd feel weird without a weighted knob, but then again I used GReddy plastic knob with extender before and still liked it
Will probably join you guys in this purchase.
