Default Need help FAST....

Okay here is my issue.. I installed my 12 bolt, when i go to line up the torque arm the bracket doesnt line up.. The bottom bolt is off by 1/4 of a inch from the groove thats cut into the pumpkin for the torque arm mount.. I am thinking either grind the groove a extra 1/4 into the pumpikin or shave 1/4 off the torque arm bracket.. I know this sounds silly but its pissing me off.. Has any else had this problem before.. BTW the torque arm is adjustable..

Let me know your thoughts..i tryed walking away and just drinking a beer, but bottom line is something needs to give..

When putting this rear in are all the other bolts in but loose? ie.. lower control arm, shocks etc.. You want to torque the suspension stuff with the axle level and the full weight of the vehicle on it or stuff will bind, and **** won't line up. Just a reminder.

But if you have to grind I would do it on the torque arm not the rear-end. Good luck.

Excellent I think the beer break or three put your mind at ease...
