Got it, you are right, its the coating on the bolt. I had treid to run it down with just a rachet and it bound up. So after finding no stores open, I layed the OEM bolt next to the included bolt and the tread looks the same to me. So I stuck the bolt in the vise and crossed my fingers and ran it down with the 1/2 impact.........all better now, just need to clean the gunga off the treads
Other than that its was all good. Help to loosen the 2 bolts for the cross member mount just to help stuff line up.
So its all done but the skid plate going back on.
Nice product
I took some before picks of the CV angle to compare with the after. Also of the old vrs new crossmember.

Is the 14mm c 130mm bolt the same threadpitch as the one removed? We have installed one at the shop and Augie had the same hardware. I can check on Monday if there was a screw-up in shipping.
Only difference is that we sent some early kits with the bolt painted since we were wainting for them to come back from coating. The coating should not effect the fitment, but it could possibly.
