Mickey -
I bet you have a TM from the mid-2000's or older. I remember complaining about this very thing in maybe 2004, and guess what? The factory read it, and the next year the stirrups were considerably bigger.
Of course it is easy to retrofit larger stirrups. Just buy the size stirrup you want (they are actually called U-bolts), paint 'em, drill one new hole at each location, and install.
