AndyMark also sells optional upgrades for the for the AM14U2/3: a
wedge plate to solve this issue, and a
cross plate to help with an open front/rear. One wedge plate adds close to 3" of length to the chassis length without increasing the wheelbase, but it does help get over the category B and D defenses. I can't vouch for the cross plate.
