Probably going to do that or just put a few washers and a longer bolt so it moves it further out a bit, thanks

I have the same brace installed and don’t have any clearance issues at all. My car is up in the air currently for other work. I’ll crawl under it later to get some pictures. Maybe I’ll notice an obvious difference that’ll solve your problem!

Is yours an auto or manual? I can’t tell from the photos

thanks wscott62893, Im pretty sure its a tight fit either way. I went ahead and added af few washers and I am not hitting anything now. I looked at some other threads and I am pretty sure i had the thing installed right. No biggie!

Glad you easily resolved it but we really try to not have to do any shimming. Would you mind PM'ing me your combo so I can compare others?
