What the thread found

• Tightening the Gorelock ring directly around the J-box ring recovers approximately half an inch of post room when using a PRO HD with XCS 2 inch hybrid setup
• Multiple users have operated with this configuration for over a year without problems
• The J-box ring was originally designed as the OEM PRO docking ring and is built to handle the movement and weight from regular docking, making it suitable for this clamping method
• Periodic inspection of both the upper and lower J-box rings is recommended to ensure they remain properly tightened when using this technique

Depends on

• Users report this is an unconventional modification, not an officially documented procedure
• The modification was adopted based on informal suggestions within the user community
• Long-term durability data is limited to user reports rather than manufacturer testing
• The technique requires regular maintenance checks to verify the J-box rings stay tight
