    Well it doesn't sit flush with everything else, maybe a quarter inch over the surrounding plastic. When I popped off the plastic there was enough space to sink it in. I don't know the dimensions on the 271 but I imagine they're similar.

    It's the one I made when I first took the truck out to plaster city after getting lt. Didn't notice it at first but i watched the video multiple times and it was definitely the shock towers flexing. So I made sure to not only have a brace going through the engine bay connecting both shock towers but also the tower gussets.

    Ha for serious this time it's not happening anytime soon.
