Shifter plates are also different than the GM ones.
The mounting plate of the Dodge sits too far forward to clear a 4wd adapter. I'm currently looking for the trans side arms to see if the Dodge arm/rods will work with the GM mount plate.
Shift rod strength should not be an issue unless you plan on seriously offroading in which case you have the wrong trans anyways....

What yr and make is your truck ?
My shifter now fits near the seat and I had to bend it out a tad ( torch/ big vice)so it would straighten out .
Your right it would otherwise be too close ....
