PSC ram assist

Just picked up a PSC kit for the Gladiator and it comes with a 6.75 ram. My question is to why this, and not the 8 in. ram offered for other applications?
 
The 8” ram is typically used for axles wider than 69.5”. If you’re running an XD60 WIDE (72.5”) then you ordered the wrong kit. PSC should swap it out for you drama free. However if you ordered their standard width then the 6.75 is what you should be using.

I’m guessing I do have the wrong kit, because the cooler doesn’t fit behind the stock grill. Reached out to them several times and they asked for pics. Haven’t heard anything yet, including the answer to my ram question so I thought I would bring it here. Yes on the 72.5.
 
Different axles lengths have different throw. As @RESURECTIONJK stated, 8.0 ram for your wide axles or your ram can max out before the steering stops.

For your cooler, you may have the correct one compared to their instructions. PSC likes to change components all the time without warning lol I did the same this week opening up a kit only to find a completely new cooler setup.

Post up a pic of what you received.
 
Here’s a photo of what I received, and how far off the grill is to fitting when resting on the cooler. I’ve seen other coolers that they offer, that appear to be about 8 inches square and thinner. I think that would solve my issue. Since this is a diesel, maybe there’s less room behind the grill??

I did cut the tabs. Taking the honeycomb part of the grill out did gain about 1/2 inch of additional movement. I can slip my fingers behind the cooler bracket, which clearance could be reduced but I still don’t think it’s enough. I’ll get it, I was hoping someone here has come across this already. Disciple, you’re being very helpful.

I know even with the old style, it was a very very tight fit and to the point I hated the design as it was super close to rubbing the radiator.

Here is the mounting bracket for the 392 for same cooler. Much better location. Not sure if it would also work with the Deisel, don’t see why not.
