if I am remembering correctly, where the rod connects to the pin you should have about 7/8's overlap. basically just a little bit to where you have to pull it to where it sits in the pin. if you are looking at the hole where the pin goes, it should have 7'8's of the hole covered from the pin, where you have to pull another 1/8 to get it on there. hope that makes sense. then just play with it until you get it where your truck likes it.
