Has anyone taken note of the direction, front to rear vs rear to front, of the bolts holding the IRS carrier in the frame? My mechanic buddy, noted to me, I had some bolts that would not come out once the sheet metal was installed. I have the trunk floor, with drop box installed. I am going to look at this further next trip to the barn. I thought I followed the instructions and previous builds, but could have just put them in the easiest way.

Mine are all rear to front. I believe the manual shows it that way as well. I don’t think the two front mounts really have a choice due to frame interference.

Rear to front on mine as well.
(Thought about that during assembly "What if this has to come out?"... Nothing a hole saw & plug won't fix.

Thanks for the replies. If I need to, I will change any that might be an issue.
