Appreciate the input Marshall! Good comments. Hole integrity was an early thought also. Bolts fit properly and no appearance of welding or modifying. I even cleaned off the paint some to check. I was surprised that the two 31s I checked had holes that sit lower in the frame. Maybe I am just at the end of the tolerance range. Never the less, it is what it is. I have come to realize same about the nut. A new one ordered is actually a larger hex size... I am using the small. I may turn the hex back a bit from the castled end for a little more clearance. Have also noticed the springs that came with the Teflon EZ-Steer kit I installed also are about an 1/8 longer than my 4 stock ones. That will move my drag link aft a bit aggravating an already close fit. I am beginning to think that this will be a battle of small adjustments here and there. If I can't resolve, I can go the route of an adjustable drag link. Appreciate all the inputs. Feel free to continue.
