Sick!

I had an 02, I *think* they had basically the same geometry, and I would recommend that you try running the 7" position as well as the 8" one - the 7" one just slacks it out a little bit more.

Thanks for the tip socket..
Is the 7' position the middle of the three holes?

Yeah it is. Notice how it's set back a bit further than the 8" one, just that liiiittle bit more slackness. That was my preferred setting anyway, but play around with it and see what you like.
