flip the bolt upside down, so it doesn't hit the tire anymore.

It helps because it makes it posible to move the mounting hole back and in 1/4" or so, so it sits inside the rim. It also greatly improves your steering angle. I haven't seen another setup on a berg that turns as sharp as my truck does.
