I would recommend you get a new bracket if that one is defective (especially considering it's brand new). Monkeying around with shims and crap sounds like a way to fatigue failure (and besides, there's no good way to know the bracket's strength hasn't been compromised by the defect either).

Well the computer answers, then you sit on hold forever. They will answer emails, slowly. Honestly, they don't have the old tech line and I am far too short tempered to screw with them. Summit won't take it back and you have to buy the $220 package to get a new one, and I still don't know if it is defective. SJ either can't or won't send a photo or image and there isn't any clear pics of the brackets. There IS a pic from a TRS build thread, the second pic in my original post and a short vid on youtube and both of those show the bracket sitting at 90 degrees from the cross member. I'm having a shim machined, for free, out of steel, and the local fab guru is going to build me a bracket from .250 steel, he put it in CAD and is going from there.

I've used SJ and Duff 7 or 8 times and have never seen this.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Here's the best picture I have of mine right now. Looks like both brackets are pointed straight. Keep trying their customer service.

THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There has to be hundreds of RBV's with Skyjacker parts on them, but no pics to speak of.

UPDATE;

I found a parts house, on line, that claims they can get me the offending bracket, a la carte. The RHB35-6, right hinge bracket 35-6, for the princely sum of $93.59, We shall see.:icon_thumby:
