Does that mean that thepeople with the 2" DJM drop shackles had to clearance the bed to use them?

Sorry for the hijack

In my case yes. I have a wood bed, so that may make a difference. I ended up shaving the bottom of the bed and here in the next couple months I'm taking the bed off to do some other work and my plan is to grind off about 1/4 in off the edge that is closes to the bed
