Rivergate kit is my guess.. I had the same problem.. I called and
asked if I would void anything by leaving out those thick rubber
bits. A quick look and you will see that there is some stuff on the
rear support that was designed to take a VERY rough road. i removed
one layer of rubber and things went in much better.
