Default 4" drive shaft wont fit...

I am running the BMR extreme torque arm and I am having interference at the front of the torque arm and 4" drive shaft.
Has anyone ran into this issue?
Is there a torque arm setup that will clear a 4" DS?

Thanks,
Rick

My stock torque arm fits with a 4" shaft.

Yep, but the shackle end on the BMR torque arm is in the way on mine. The stock drive shaft has only about a 1/4" of clearance.
Not sure what I am going to do, but it looks like I am going to have to modify the BMR mount some how. I may try to change to an adjustable type front mount using C channel...
