I went to install my new 422 Progressive shocks on the rear of my 03 Chopper Rolling Thunder frame. I got the left side on no problem. But when I went to install the right side. There was a nut in the way that attaches to the transmission through the frame. The new shocks are a lot bigger diameter that the stock ones. I have not heard of anyone else having an issue installing these shocks. Am I missing something here. Has anyone else installed these on their chopper?

I just like my Freedom
I just put a pair on my 04 Rt Chopper. I did not have any issues with trans bolts. Lets ask @Th3InfamousI . Bet he knows if there is any diff between the 03-04 RT frames.

I pulled tbe stud. What a pain. Ended up being 7/16 coarse thread in the trans. Couldn't get a button head bolt that size. Put a 7/16x3/4 in and then ground down the head to clear the shock.
