Bag install issue?
Truck in sig and Firestone Ride Rite 2625 bag kit. Top bracket installed fine. when I went to install the bottom bracket that bolts to the spring pack. The jounce tongue is 4.5 inches long, so the slot in the bottom bracket isn't long enough to have enough space for the axle tube bracket and the fastener head for the bag.
I sent an email off to Firestone (no support contact number) , I will see how long that takes?
Since the jounce bumper is removed, I thought about sawzalling the jounce tongue off. A bit rash, but would work.

The Ride Rite bottom bracket mounts over the jounce tongue. I believe the 2625 kit that Firestone recommends for my truck incorporates a bottom bracket that is just wrong. There is no way it can just bolt up.

Edit: Sorry, I see you have a 22. I’m on my phone so I didn’t see the truck in your sig.

Thanks, erroneous instructions and no support contact number and no support email reply. I will not be purchasing Firestone products in the future.
