No limit brackets

I bought the no limit shock relocation and panhard bar kit. The issue I am running up against is when I use the holes that the instructions state to use, the brackets try to occupy the same space. I am unsure if I should just clearance one of the brackets or if I should possibly move them to clear? Anybody else ran into this issue?

Re: No limit brackets

I remember reading about this before on the NL kits.

I would check w/NL first but it seems you would be fine just buzzing the edges of each bracket equally until they clear each other. I suggest the "each bracket equally" approach so the minimum amount of material is removed from each vs. twice as much material removed from just one bracket.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Thanks Scoti, I like that approach. I remember reading this too, but couldn’t find anything on it for the solution. I sent an email to NL this AM so I will report back what they respond.

I recall there were some variances w/the holes in the frame rails between the different years & a 'clearance as needed' recommendation as the solution.
Hopefully it's still that simple.

Thanks again, I started to just clearance them and move on, which appears to be the likely solution needed here.

Re: No limit brackets

I heard back from Rob, and the fix is to clearance them so they both fit, I wanted to update this in case someone down the road ran into this scenario.

Thanks for the info. It is an easy fix for sure.

Re: No limit brackets

I finished my install and am happy with the kits and how they turned out. I still need to torque a few bolts, but it’s on there. I might have to slot the lower shock mount bracket on the passenger side to slide it back farther. It appears the shock might hit the panhard bar mounting bolt. Should be easy enough to slot the existing U bolt holes to gain more clearance.

Re: No limit brackets

Looks good. Weird on the shock interference concern. Maybe it's just close but really not an issue w/full weight on the chassis?

That’s my thoughts as well, get some weight on it and see what it looks like. I don’t think others have had this issue, but nothing that can’t be worked around if need be.
