Haha oh wow. I finally see it, the arrow was pointing to just the 1/4". Grr, that's annoying they should have put a Not OK as well for the 10" or at least made it smaller than 10", because that part of the diagram even if it is 1/4" is not legal. They should really fix that, that's very very misleading.

Also, seg9585, I understand what they called you guys on. I got worried that it might be an issue for us too, but I think we're safe on the ball opening. Our side bumpers are the overlapping ones so that means the ones at the ball opening are 8in and so is the frame on that side.

Well, looks like it's time to prep for making some more brackets. Our bumpers are pretty secure, I made sure they aren't easily yank-able, but they do wobble a bit. Better be safe than sorry and get plan on securing them a little more.
