Yeah, because the lines for whatever it is, AC maybe, get in the way and you, well I needed to use a couple washers to the steering stabilizer bar out away from them. My bolt was just long eneough though

I feel better
It's odd it wasn't long enough but I see some washers stacked under the bracket that I'm not familiar with.
pic of mine installed as a reference.

it says in the instruction i could pull some of the space with washers , it was just to far out for my taste to not put 2 washers there
and there nice fat washers

your cross-member is straighter than mine too, wonder if that has something to do with it

i bet some one towed off the cross-member and bent it a bit, it was a 1 inch gap or more
These frames are noodles so it could be a variety of things really.
it's all there now without any interference.
installed prob almost a dozen of these .
each trucks frame is different as to the center single bolt gap to brake . i just leave the 2 box bolts a tad loose . start the single center and then snug down all 3 and torque them all to spec .
