Default Ironman 4x4 - track bar install question

I'm about half way done installing my adjustable track bar from Ironman 4x4(which is very well built) but I'm having an issue getting enough of the shear pin to screw on the crown.

Has anyone installed this yet that can help me out

Loks like the TRE boot is a lil long... just slide it up in would be my opinion. Better yet call Ironman and ask him.

might be wrong boot? Just push it down and install it. Looks like the boot is somewhat stretched anyway.

Hey i'm dumb, Andy emailed me back very quickly and told me what to do.

It's a protective cover to keep the rubber boot on, took it off and it slid right in.

What a great project though!

Thanks guys
