Hi folks, hoping someone can help me with the following:
I have just received the above to fit my towball, and offered it up to my rear cross member, and found the middle body support tab is a plate welded onto the surface of the cross member. The result is the dropplate does not fit flush to the cross member and is standing off at the top by the thickness of the body mount plate.
Any suggestions?
As far as I can tell my options are:
1: Fit it and not worry that it is not fully seated on the cross member?
2: Just pack it out at the 4 fixings with plates or washers?
3: Notch/cut out a recess in the dropplate to fit around the body mount plate, like this:
