To try and not not make things to confusing I recently upgraded my M998 from the 3200 lbs towing MWO to an A2 air lift rear bumper with the big reinforcement plate using inner mounting brackets.
My issue is I am not able to get the nut to go on the pintle shank far enough to get the cotter pin in the hole and I am unable to use the 3/16 thick plate which is showing in the diagrams to use with this setup on the back side between the cone adapter part that looks like a small volcano and the bumper brackets
The 3200 lbs MWO did not use the 3/16 plate or the cone plate part. Thanks to NormB for bringing over his over his 3/16" thick spacer plate plate and I ordered the cone adapter adapter part from a well known online vendor. I contacted the vendor and they looked in the parts books and the part number for the cone spacer when using the reinforcement plate is different but he held them in his hands and said they look exactly the same. The part I was sent is 1 7/8 tall I am thinking since the reinforcement plate is about 3/8" thick that I will need a shorter cone spacer part to compensate for the added material
does anyone have this part or know where to get them or have one loose they can measure for me thank you.
