I positioned the console as close to the dash as possible yet can use the controls. I unscrewed the plastic oem one and screwed this one back down thru the cowling with no issues. I’m 6 foot 280 and can get in and out easily by sliding the seat backwards. I can still get in and out it’s just easier with the seat all the way back. This console also has a plug in power port which is just an added bonus.
As for the hydraulic hose I’m thinking something bounced up and hit it or when installing the air bags they may have drilled the frame and the bit hit the line just enough to weaken it. I’ll know more about the last thought when I get a bag replaced because the alignment shop raised the coach/axle on the leveling jacks without letting the air out of the bags and stretched one past it’s limits. Good to hear the mechanics ear drum is ok after it let go!
