when you say adjusted are you talking about moving the snubbers to the farthest hole?

no i mean i moved the bars as far forward as possible while being able to get the ratchet on the rear u-bolt nuts. the snubbers are already on the farthest hole.

When I put mine on they were 1.5" from the spring. I went to summits web site and bought 2 sets of summit part # mrg-1293. Put them between your traction bar and spring on the rear clamp. This shims it to just less than .75" from the spring and it still looks good.

Go to autozone and get some 2 or 3 inch arm bushings $6.00 and presto!

Are you guys talking about moving it closest to the rear end or farthest away?

Hello! Nobody answered my question and that is pretty rude! Do you move the rubber piece all the back or forward?
Thanks

Here is what i did:
Used some leaf spring spacers i got from Autozone on the rear, this brought the snubber closer. then i got some RED snubbers to match my truck that were just a little taller then the ones that came with the bars. With the snubber in the hole all the way at the end there is about .25" clearence

I have my snubbers installed on the hole closest to the rear end. As I said above, I used some spring clamps mrg-1293 to shim them and they look great and are .75" from spring.
