Default they do

well I can say they do. I was hoping they wouldn't but they do. only full turn to the right though don't know why not to the left, but it clears by a 1/4 inch or so. its just a good excuse to tell the wife I need spacers. ha ha ha

Congrats on the new diggers. I haven't heard much negative reviews about the STT's.
