M.O.R.E engine skid clearance issues
Saturday I wrapped the install on the currie front axle, once we got it on the ground(prior to cycling suspension) I noticed the clearance between the corner of the skid and the pumpkin was pretty tight,barely big enough for my pinky. 50 ft down the diet driveway *clankclankclank* drove home gingerly because I knew I had wedged the axle onto the plate. Got home to this 
and after some fighting and a floor jack was able to remove it. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this skid that they have had to clearance? Hesitant to take the grinder to it but don't really have any other choice. As of right now I am running stock length arms so pushing axle forward isn't an option.
I'm running a Low COG lift so at ride height the skid isnt too far above the axle like some with 3+ inch lifts.

Looked at mine today and it has about 2 inches of clearance

I had plenty with the previous axle. I need to check axle center and maybe look at an adjustable trac bar given the newer raised position on the currie Axle

Looks like I may just have my trac bar in the wrong hole on the axle. In an effort to wrap the install there I wasn't quite thinking. Will be relocating that tomorrow hopefully and re checking clearances before pulling out the grinder
