Motor Mount Height Question

[Hasselblad]

Meaning this is with springs installed and at ride height?

correct
And almost positive that when researching the emu 2.5 spring lift that this was the recommended tb.

Also to note: The frame end of the old (not original though) TB's bracket looks to have been bent to accommodate (simply by use, not intentional on my part) the new angle of the pinion since I had put on the DC shaft a couple years ago.

Downsides of utilizing the original axle TB location point with the 2.5 EMU springs?
- horizontal shove when I hit a bump?

I have GOT to be overlooking something obvious. (I mean it's not upside down obvious?) With an even higher lift there'd likely be an even higher aftermarket bracket on the axle end of the TB leading to the same clearance issue of the gas tank skid lip. Or is the Teraflex bar just badly designed?

My lower CAs are at 16" center to center, so that doesn't seem like the axel is back too far, and that would not explain why the frame end of the TB is what has the interference.

Took the bracket off, and shelved it till such time as I get a gas tank lift (which may not even help judging by the part it interferes with.) Looks like it should clear with the Teraflex bar.

Edit: gave me about 3/4 - 1" clearance from TB to that part of the gas tank support... thing, and tons of room from the rub that the angled bracket was intended for. All of this and the fooking skid plate lowering bushings STILL have not arrived, which were the primary to-do today. Further enshitification of Amazon.
