    Ok I have a question. For those who have installed a RC 6" lift, how in the f*** do you tighten the rear diff mount to the diff. The diff spacer is so narrow that I cannot fit a ratchet in there or the 21mm wrench that I shaved. Any help?

    Bolt in photo 23. Tried box end wrench to no avail. Bolt head is 21mm and using box end doesnt have enough room to tighten. Ratcheting wrench box end is too wide. Grinded down open end and not enough arc again to tighten.

    Also the photo is from the instructions and accurately depicts how far my bolt is backed out.

    You need a swivel knuckle on the end of a socket, then extension to your ratchet
