Thanks man. It's been a lot of fun building it. The sliders and rear bumper haven't been rubbing anywhere that I've noticed but I also took a hammer to some spots for clearance as well. If it ever does start to rub somewhere you will probably get a PM from me about some spacers.
The bolt thing was kind of interesting. There wasn't really any official instructions on assembling it so I googled around to see how people were running it. I ended up finding about an even mix of up and down. It has been awhile but I want to say I saw a vehicle on Savage's website showing it ran up like that so I went with it. It is also a lock nut otherwise I'd feel pretty nervous running it that way. So far it hasn't budged.
