If you are talking about that cover that is directly above the receiver then you should be able to go ahead and torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. It may cause that fascia piece to flex some but wouldn't hurt...

• Will Torflex Lift Kit for #10 Torflex Axle Allow Larger Tires
• Thanks for the purchase of the Torflex Lift Kit # K71-707-01, and to determine if you can add a 15 inch tire, I recommend waiting to install the lift kit first so you can take a measurement. The reason why is, the general rule of thumb is you want at least 3 inches of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender, and 1 inch of clearance from the tire to the inside of the frame. And a 15 inch tire will be bigger in diameter as well as wider, so you'll want to measure to see if you have...
