i don't think it would line up even if it's only 3.16ths...judging from
the look under mine i have been taking getting rid of the last of the
bailing wire that is holding up the exhaust..(the dpo was worse than the
military) so is probably just stuck i would venture to guess. like i
said, it all fit's pretty tight

I think the mounts bolt to the forward side of the mounting area on the
shock tower. Could they be on the aft side, moving the assemble back
maybe 3/16 inch? Would the trans bolts line up if they were in wrong?
