Budbuilt Transfercase Crossmember Interference?
So, I'm finally installing my Budbuilt crossmember. Pretty straightforward install.
I get the main bolts started to hold the crossmember in place while I attempt to align the transfer/tranny mount to the crossmember. I simply coudln't align it. When I investigated, it became obvious that the crossmember was hitting the cover for the CV shaft. I removed this cover and all went into place.
Is this a common thing? Is it a normal part of the install to remove this shield? I figure teh new crossmember will do a much better job of protecting that part anyway.
Can I leave it off and call it good or should I cut down the shield to fit?
