We cut slots in the frame so the wheels line up with the center of the frame, we add as many washer as needed to get the correct drop. For the cylinder we went with a 3/4x 1 inch throw, each shifter has a 1/2 inch throw so as soon as one side bottoms out it will throw the other to the bottom. With 45 lbs of force I thick both will shift instantly.
