My LLTEK came very close to the negative cable (not terminal). But they're not rubbing the battery

well you gotta move the bat termanal but other then that it should fit

mine very slightly touches my hood and the brake res but not enought to make it a problem. just line it up and start the bolt. the tabs will move into place without issue if you take it slow.

remember to REMOVE the washers! if you dont fitment wont be right.
