Extend the shifter at the bottom, below the bend and above the lower knuckle.  Extend it as long as your body spacers are high.  (3"lift = 3" extension)  This helps keep the shift pattern as close to stock as possible.

Yah, I'd think that one could drive with extended shifters, and no body lift installed.
The shifters will be really tall though.
