I have an MGW and love it. I have two different shafts, I have a white Q ball with 5 spd pattern, I can use the stock Mustang leather ****, or my personal favorite - the MGW "Gripper".

Awesome! I am glad I can keep the stock ****. Not sure what thread size it is though. I could likely call before purchasing though.
Also, their installation video is quite thorough, but since I do not have a lift, I will need to find someone that can perform quality work on these.
Did all of you guys install your own? Is it something you think is ok to tackle without a lift?

It can be done without a lift, a lot of guys have done it. It has to be a challenge to do it that way. I did mine on a lift.
