i just recieved mine today and seen that the bolt that goes through the housing on the diif is large than the hole there from factory is it normal to enlarge?also i have three inch lift ordered the bar for 1 to 5 inch lift it says to measure from eyelet to eyelet 33 5/8 to get a starting point for 3.5 inch lift well the eyelet is almost all the way out is the normal or is it the wrong bar and need longer one just curious any feed back would be great

Call THEM.

The over-sized bolt is probably intentional. Those holes oval out over time, due to the thin-ness of the axle side mount. I have a Rusty's bar (with an IRO double shear body side) and it slide back and forth before I drilled out both the axle bracket and Rusty's bushing sleeve to up-size the bolt.

Idk where they got that measurement for a starting point but thats way too long. I just lifted my 95' 5 inches and my bar ended up being 32.5 inches eye to eye. start with just over the length of your stock bar and go from there.
