Default 9in Clearance
Upper torque arm bolt put hole in floor pan.....anyone else run into this problem......I will be welding in a new piece to allow clearance but didn't expect it

Had the same thing. They don't fit like a stocker, that's for sure. Eventually they make room for themselves. A BFH works wonders too.

what did you do to fix it? I was just going to take some sheet metal and make a raised space for it to have clearance.

It didn't bang until it was too late....and it doesn't matter what torque arm is on it because it is the 9in bracket that hits
