Easy fix Shane if they don't fit. Just have your guy make some new top bracket extenders inward and add a bit to the bottom bracket and all is good. Hammer and welder fixes everything! With what you have I can't see anymore then a few inches to modify.
If he can't do it, I can bring the welder and tools to rally and just bring the parts.... A few Beers and we will get it to fit. :woohoo:

Your Awesome. If I bring a whole bunch of Cherry Wood and a case of beer?

Shane - if it added that much height to the rig, check and make sure what your clearance is. Here in the eastern part of the country there are a lot of old bridges on the interstates that have clearances of 13' 3" or so.

Thanks. I plan to measure once it is setup. I worked all over the north east so I know what you mean buy low overpasses. When we first started in Chicago we had guys rip 5 booms off our bucket trucks in the first 2 weeks there .some of the red and blue line under passes were on 11ft

UPDATE

Took the RW out for it's first longer trip since the 4000 kit and shock kit.
I do have to say it made a huge difference. Didn't even bounce over a few railroad tracks that it jumped hard on last year.
Placed two plastic vitamin bottles on the counter and they were still there when we arrived back home so I have to say it was worth the $'s so far.
