RSSA Install on Ford F-53

Hi folks. I have been back and forth with Roadmaster about the installation of their RSSA steering stabilizer. I have a Georgetown 31B3 and it was fairly easy to install. My problem with it is there are various videos on the install and various ways to install it. The Roadmaster installation instruction even contradicts itself. It has a photo of the tie rod bracket on top of the tie rod and the written instructions tell me to put it on the bottom. I went with it on top of the tie rod along with the stabilizer on top of the bracket to try and get the shock as level as possible. My concern is it is only about an inch from the track bar. I don't think they can make contact but wanted to ask someone that may have installed one already. Here is a pic of what my install looks like.

It amazes me that Roadmaster still has bad installation instructions included with something that can be deadly if done wrong.

    Inch separation horizontally or vertically? If vertical it likely will contact when the suspension compresses.

    PS, tell H I said hello.

    Vertically. I was afraid of that. My option would be to move it to the bottom of the tie rod bracket. That would gain my about 3 inches of separation but add a slight angle to it. I am thinking the angle is less critical. I will probably go that route now. That is how I originally had it installed but changed it because of the documentation from Roadmaster.
