Serpentine belt issues. Need help.

[UATahoe]

Hey guys, in the process of converting my truck over to a 96 serpentine belt setup. The belt I installed seemed to be way too tight. Once it is on, the tensioner is swung in to the max and the belt runs on the tensioner pulley but also rests against the body of the tensioner. I am guessing that is too tight and the tensioner should swing back out enough to where the belt isn't touching the body of the tensioner, just the pulley. Any suggestions on belts to use that may be a little longer? The belt I tried is a drive rite 968K6
