The product is not intended for the op's vehicle and has nothing to do with who makes it. He would have the same problem with Marlins. It sounds like the op is just trying to make it work even though its not meant to be a direct replacement for his vehicle.

You are correct.
It would work if my cross member were 1" forward from where it is now. Since all searches lead me nowhere for an HD mount for a 2003 w/ auto trans, I figured I could begin with this.
Thanks.
