Default Teraflex Adjustable Tire Mount Install

Hey guys...I've already sent my issue to tech@teraflex.com but I'm being impatient and thought I would post as well in case someone else can help.

I think the bolts I received with the kit may be the wrong size. The bolts I'm referring to are the ones that secure the outer tube piece with the multi-holed plate (and studs) to the base plate.

Hoping someone might be able to confirm by the pics I've posted. Thanks for the help!!

Those look like what I have. Why do you think they're wrong?

Ones in the install video appeared to be much shorter. I've only snugged the nylock nut in the picture but I assumed that I would be tightening it down closer to the base. Seems like there will be a lot of play this way??

I just tightened down until it was good and tight. There's no play in it. I'm running 37" MTRs and it's been fine on and off road.

Too funny, I installed my tire mount today too. The long bolts are fine, they snug up nicely. The one thing I noticed is that the Teraflex video is a bit outdated, it still shows the old tire mounting bracket with 4 sets of mounting holes (vs. 3) and the old 3rd brake light mount. Here are a few shots of my install:

Thanks guys. No, I haven't tightened them yet. Still having issues getting the studs pressed in.

After struggling getting one stud in, I took the other two studs and the mount to an auto shop with a press. One of the guys working in the shop happened to be a jeeper and pressed them in at no cost, although I was prepared to part with good money to avoid doing the other two.
