Thats just what I gathered. I could be wrong, but it makes a lot of sense. If there was another reason to raise the engine 2 inches, other than for clearance issues, then perhaps it is a viable option, but from the way it sounds right now, it just seems like they are creating a lot of extra work for themselves, and complicating the install more than it needs to be.

Yes, they opened a BIG can of worms by raising the motor...they should have done a little more homework and saved a lot of fab work and screwing up the COG and driveline angle....I bet Jared is rolling his eyes!!
