ARB front bumper chassis rails

[alby79]

Read lots about using a ratchet strap or high lift jack to pull-in or spread the frame rails on the ARB bumper on IH8MUD - has anyone had issues with the actual size of the frame rails on the ARB bar being too small to fit onto the chassis rail? One side slips on no problem, the other is a little small. Grinded a little metal off the ARB bar etc. but interested to hear from any folks that had the same issue. Cheers in advance.

I have had some very tight fits but not one that never fitted at all. Yes to all the techniques other than actual grinding.

yep - mine was about 3mm shorter than the rails... nothing a bottle jack and a bit of wood couldn't handle

Cheers for the help! A hammer and grinder but eventually made a wide enough gap to fit onto the chassis rails (bottle jack e.t.c to line up the rails was the easy part!). Cheers again.
