I'm finally trying to install my ultralight jacking rails and the holes don't line up. I did the very front screw and then went to the rear, and the holes are off by a good 4" or so. Is it possible I was sent the wrong rails? The center of the front hole to the center of the rear hole in the rail measures 46 1/2 inches. They were labeled part 555-5205. Thank you.

Try switching sides with the jacking rails - let me know if that works.

IIRC there are ~6 bolt holes there, you want the furthest forward ones, the ones torwards the back in your car frame would get utilized for the IRS Braces if you installed those at a later date-Don't know if that helps, it through me off when I did my install tried installing them with the bolts toward's the back

This was user error on my part. 1) wrong side because I did not realize what the lip referred to and 2) I did not realize the original rear hole is not used. They are now on.
