Crossed threads are tight threads.
back when men were men, we used our arms and wieners as tape measures, among other extremities.... hence units of measurement vary...

I got the Belltech shackles and raised it 1". Problem solved. Someday when I'm really bored, I'll tear into the relocation of a bunch of stuff. So maybe I can use the notches. Or not.

No, it was just touching once in a while before the extra 1". Now I have about 2.5". Still not a lot but enough, in most cases. Drove 5 hrs to look at a boat yesterday and never bottomed out once the whole trip.

Finally found a good use for that long ass jack bar that always falls off when you barely touch it. Long story short I just got thru with my step notches. Had some pictures but lost them. I’ll take some more today probably.
